Thread: getline function with string class

can the getline function be used with a string class object?

if you are speaking of a string.h file and you declare a string as String aString..then at school we used this..but i dont like it....

Code:

#include <lvp\string.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
String something;
getline(cin, something);
return 0;
}

that only works for some...i have never really implemented any strings in any of my code..i always think of them as array of characters like

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char* something = new char[100];
	cin.getline(something, 100, '\n');
	
	delete [] something;
	return 0;
}

Yes, getline for std::string's is implemented in <string>:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
  std::string s;

  if ( std::getline ( std::cin, s ) )
    std::cout<< s <<std::endl;
}
