Thread: split string using getLine function

I think I need a small split string program with a getLine function to do "exactly" this:

(Please notice the user type his full name on one line, but the program output First and Last name on separate lines.)

Please type your first and last name:
Sam Harris
Your First Name is:
Sam
Your Last Name is:
Harris


Below is some code I been playing around with, with no success. It is "TOTALLY" useless because it needs user input from the keyboard as described above. Not embedded names like I have in the code below. Can some one fix this or would you have an working example to archive what I'm after which is color-coded above.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

// useless. We need user keyboard input.  Not embedded
// names and it must be in Standard C++.
 
string s("Sam Harris");
istringstream iss(s);

        string sub;
        iss >> sub;
        cout << "First Name: " << sub << endl;

        iss >> sub;
cout << "Last Name: " << sub << endl;
    return 0;
}

Hope I made my question clear.

Thanks in advance

Alternatively (if we want the user to enter their full name), read into a string with std::getline. Pass that string to your stringstream and continue as usual.

No Aisthesis . It should not be an embeded name. The first example I posted was just a piece of code I came up with while trying. Working code should display on screen from anyone who type there name full name at the keyboard. I don't know how to make it work with getLine of set-up the std::cin >> sub thing. I am brand new learning C++. I love the way C++ people talk code, but I got to see code examples to get an understanding of how the code work. This is my 3rd week.

(Please notice the user type his full name on one line, but the program output First and Last name on separate lines. Number 2 is the one I am trying to do)

1) Everybody knows how to output a single line like this:

Please type your first and last name:
John Doe
Thankyou

2) But it seem no one knows how to output to seperate lines like this:

Please type your first and last name:
John Doe
Your First Name is:
John
Your Last Name is:
Doe


This code is a little mix-up but I'm sure it's only a hair away from working.
I just don't know how to get it to work:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string s("Sam Harris");
istringstream iss(s);

string sub;
iss >> sub;
cout << "First Name: " << sub << endl;

iss >> sub;
cout << "Last Name: " << sub << endl;

string str;
cout << "Please enter full name: ";
getline (cin,str);
cout << "Thank you, " << str << ".\n";
return 0;
}

Like I said:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string str;
    cout << "Please enter full name: ";
    getline (cin,str);

    istringstream iss(str);

    string sub;
    iss >> sub;
    cout << "First Name: " << sub << endl;

    iss >> sub;
    cout << "Last Name: " << sub << endl;
    return 0;
}

I believe the OP wants:

Please type your first and last name:
John Doe
Your First Name is:
John
Your Last Name is:
Doe

Which you cannot do with simply cin >>.

Hmmm. True that. There are two ways of doing it.

My brain almost went mush until now ... Wow Elysia! I just nearly figured it out minutes ago by realizing that:

-string s;

-cout << "Please enter full name: ";
-getline (cin, s);

Will put the full name in a variable just the same as writing it in:

-string s("Sam Harris")

So now all I have to do is piece the rest together and call it. But checking here first, you already did it and it looks a whole lot better on your post and you will never find anything like it any where when googling. At lease I could not for over 72 hours. .. Thank you

And to boot we got two ways of doing it with standard C++. Thank you all. WoW!
