    String

    How can I capture the string in C++?
    For example, the input is: Mary Average User
    and I can capture the those three words into three variables?

    Thx!~

    Something like this would work -

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    
    int main()
    {
    
    	string a,b,c;
    
    	cin >> a >> b >> c;
    
    	cout << a << endl << b << endl << c << endl;
    	return 0;
    }

    you wanna capture into different variables or into a single one???
    look for a single variable you could use:

    Code:
    char s[200];
    gets(s);
    
    //if youre reading from a file then use fgets
    what zen said is right...

    Thx!! The program can put three words in three different variables, how about if I key in two words, the first word will put in varaible "a" and the second word will put in varible c?

    Use cin.getline() to get the input as a string then use strtok() or strchr() to split the string up into its constituent words.A search of these boards should throw some light on this.
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
