Hi,
I'm a newbie here so sorry if this seems a dumb question. I have to get a user input. Normally I just usewhich ends the user input when the ENTER key is pressed. But I may need ENTER to form part of the input so I need to end the input with a '#' character. Does this make sense?Code:gets(entry);
any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Jo
I think you can use getline(), and specify '#' as the delimiter.
Just Google It. √

this is what it would look like:according to url=http://cppreference.com/cppio_details.html#getline]this definition[/url], it will still stop at a newline or EOF character... I'm not sure what will happen if you send getch() a newline, but it'll probably come out with better results...Code:char line[256]; cin.getline(line,256,'#');
here's a little info on getch(): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...c_._getche.asp
