Display Help Needed

i have a statement:

Code:

---


cout << "The destination is " << place << endl;
cout << "~~~~~~~~~~~~~"<<endl;

---

id like to underline it to the exact character. Place length will change depend on input, so i want to see the underline change in length, depending on how many characters place is.

Maybe 'strlen' then a small loop to print ~ however many times you need?
