    char text[10];
    cout << "Enter something";
    cin >> text;

    i.e make text an array of char big enough to store the result.
    colin.

    cin.getline ( text, TEXTLEN );
    Where TEXTLEN is the number of elements in your string. cin with the >> operator will use whitespace as a delimiter while getline uses a newline character.
