Not sure why I can not figure this out. I'm trying to take a string and use it for evaluating a Postfix Expressions. The input should be blank-separated. I can get the program to run just fine without spaces. However, I just can not get it to work with spaces. I have tried both cin.ignore() and getline( cin, postfixExp). Using the cin.ignore() I get an endless loop and when I use getline( cin, postfixExp) it will not allow me to input data. Below is my whole program. The problem I'm in countering is in the driver.cpp.
Code:

This header file defines a Stack data type.
Basic operations:
constructor: Constructs an empty stack
empty: Checks if a stack is empty
push: Modifies a stack by adding a value at the top
top: Accesses the top stack value; leaves stack unchanged
pop: Modifies stack by removing the value at the top
display: Displays all the stack elements
Note: Execution terminates if memory isn't available for a stack element.
