How to Convert Space in ascii?

I have a problem with converting the Space char into other chars.
I'm working in a program with the objective of simulate a encoder machine, so when i have to encode the space char to other char(by adding a Int key to their original ascii code), the cin operator doesn't recognize the Space char.
How can I encode/decode the space char using this method?

There is no cin operator. cin is an object--not an operator. Perhaps you mean the operator>>, which is known as the insertion operator. The insertion operator is defined so that it does not read in spaces. I'm not sure what that has to do with encoding characters, but there you have it.

If you need to read in multiple words from cin, then you can use the form of getline() appropriate to the type of your input variable.

When filename is std::string

Code:

std::string filename
getline(cin,filename);

when filename is character array

Code:

char  filename[255];
cin.getline(filename,sizeof(filename));

And you don't need cin.ignore() after inputting strings. That will cause the program to stop and wait for more user input!

Using get line will keep the spaces in there. Hope this helps.

lol. Hey, it inserts it into the variable!
