[Roscpp] How to subscribe to a topic once ?

edit

Hi guys

I have a little problem here. I am writing just small code for basic joint moves of my arm manipulator in ros. I want to start with topics some services and work with parameters just to train ROS basics. I already created URDF and model in moveit but for first time a just want to move it easy way and then start with actionlib.

This is my simple code. I setup voltages there and I created publisher which is publishing arms positions and I subscribe to it. This is just Main there are 5 more proceses and one service server for comunication.

I have a problem in case 2 where I want to subscribe for the topic and read positions for one time. I have problem when i use ros::spin() it cannot stop subscribing and when i use ros::spinOnce() it just stay in a loop and never broke it. Can you help me how to read just for once and then jump to loop and wait for another prikaz(comman in english) for case.

Thank you for your time and any ideas.

prikaz is global variable

while(ros::ok() && vyp){

    if (prikaz == 0){
      printf("Prikazy na komunikaciu\n");
      printf("Napatia su vycitane, komunikacia s ramenom prebieha na nodu sa publikuju uhly\n");
      printf("Ak chcete pootocit klbom zadajte prikaz 1 \n");
      printf("Pred pootocenim je rameno odbrzdene a nastavena a spusteny motor\n");
      printf("Po pootoceni sa rameno znova zabrzdi a vypne sa motor\n");
      printf("Hybe sa konstantnou rychlostou co najpomalsie\n");
      printf("Ak chcete vycitat napatia zadajte prikaz dva 2 \n");
      printf("Ak chcete vycitat len polohy zadajte prikaz 3 \n");
      printf("Pre VYPNUTIE ZADAJTE PRIKAZ 5 \n");
      scanf("%d",&prikaz);
      clear();
    }
    printf("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!%d!!!!!!!!!!",prikaz);

    switch(prikaz){
      case 1:{
    break;
      }
      case 2:{
    while (ros::ok() && prikaz){
      ros::Subscriber sub3 = n.subscribe("D3toMain", 1000, arrayCallback); 
      ros::spinOnce();
      ROS_INFO("SOM Taaaaaam");
    }
      }
    break;
      case 3 :{
    ros::param::set("/cit_uhol", false);
    while(ros::ok() && joint.data<5){
      mainToD4_pub.publish(joint);
      joint.data++;
      loop_rate.sleep();
    }
    joint.data=0;
    prikaz=0;
    while(ros::ok()){
      ros::param::set("/cit_uhol", true);
      if(ros::param::has("/cit_uhol"))
        break;
    }
      }
    break;
      case 5:{
    //signal(SIGINT, mySigintHandler);
    //ros::spinOnce();
    vyp=false;
    break;
      }
      default:
    vyp=false;
    break;



    }

  }
  ros::param::set("/cit_uhol", false);
  ros::shutdown();
  return 0;

void arrayCallback(const std_msgs::Float64MultiArray::ConstPtr& array)
{

    int i = 0;
    ROS_INFO("SOM TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU");
    for(std::vector<double>::const_iterator it = array->data.begin(); it != array->data.end(); ++it)
    {
        angle[i] = *it;
        ROS_INFO("Uhol klbu %d je: %lf \n ",i+1,angle[i]);
        i++;
    }
    prikaz=0;
    return;
