    Strings????

    I'm having trouble getting strings from the user,
    eg.

    cin >> info;

    User types: Misc info 1 2 3

    cout << info;

    output = Misc

    how do i store the whole sentence with spaces???


    "TIA"

    #define MAX_BUFFER 100
    char info[MAX_BUFFER];

    cin.getline(info, MAX_BUFFER);

    the >> and << operators ignore spaces and newlines.

    you'll have to do what the above posts says but i'll do it in the following way.

    cin.getline(info,100,'\n);

    this will exit if either 100 chars are inputed or enter is pressed, whichever is first.


    PS you should have posted this in the C or C++ forum.
