ISO standard C++ (the topic here) does not support
nonblocking input. You'll need a platform-specific
solution.

This shows why it's not a good idea to depend upon "C++
information" you might find on the web. The large majority
of it is simply wrong. There is no such function 'kbhit()'
in standard C++. Some PC-based compilers do provide such
a function, but each implementation will work in its own
way, and in a platform-specific manner.

input to just one character, is there anyway to do more complex inputs?

There is no way to do nonblocking input in standard C++.
Try a newsgroup about your platform and/or implementation.
