Thread: <enter> to quit

Hi guys,
This may be a really dumb question but I can't seem to do this one simple thing.

I want to receive 2 strings and output stuff while the user wants me to. (I was thinking a for(; loop). '

For the user to quit, they need to press enter for both strings with no input.

I have read many archives, and am NOT using arrays.

When I press enter, it just goes to a new line and blinks at me, waiting for input.


Here is an example of the things I have tried:

Code:

cout << "Please enter 2 strings (just <enter> twice to quit):"
        << "\nstring 1: ";

cin >> string1;

cout << "\nstring 2:";

cin >> string2;

//here are the following things I have tried:
//firstly: (with brackets in various places!!)

if (string1.empty()&&string2.empty()) break;


//I have also tried: (with brackets in various places!!)

if (string1.size()-1=0&&string2.size()-1=0) break;

//I thought maybe?

char ch1;
cin.get(ch1);
if (ch1=='\0'&&ch2=='\o') break;

I am so frustrated. I have tried so many things and variations, but cannot seem to get it.

All I need is a simple way to do this.

Thankyou for reading this and helping (????)
