Go up one level in this thread

A few things could be the problem. First, how are you testing it? it will only
work that way if your actually using a pipe (i.e, testing from arena, winboard
or something), it won't work in a bare console (i'm not actually sure what the
command for that is).
Secondly, that won't actually do what you want it to do. The function returns
true if it succeeds, not if there is actually something in the pipe, the correct
statement should be:

if (PeekNamedPipe(inh,NULL,0,NULL,&dh,NULL)) if (dh)

this means, that if the function succeeds, then check to see if dh is non zero,
if so, then there are charactures in the pipe, so it's safe to do your cin
command.

hope this works.
