Thread: how to make stringstream take in spaces as input?

Code:

int main()
{
	string input = "abc def";
	stringstream buffer(input);
	char temp;
	int i = 0;
	char something[20];

	while(buffer >> temp)
	{
		something[i] = temp;
		i++;
	}
}

So I have written that code, but the values that variable temp is getting are only the characters a, b, c, d, e, f. I want it to take a value of ' ' (space) as well. Is there any way to do that?

Could you explain what this second usage of 'buffer' is supposed to do?
I mean while(temp=buffer.get()), buffer)

Because, before you edited the post I used (completely randomly, without knowledge how to use this function):
while(buffer.get(temp))

and it worked.

Code:

int main()
{
    std::string input = "abc def";
    std::stringstream buffer(input);
    char temp;
    int i = 0;
    char something[20];
    buffer >> std::noskipws; // don't skip whitespace

    while(buffer >> temp)
    {
        something[i] = temp;
        i++;
    }
    something[i] = 0;
    std::cout << "Something = \"" << something << "\"\n";
    return 0;
}
