Error With Spaces.

I am having some trouble with the following code. It is meant to take a string of input and store it in a character array. It should then provide some output, right aligned. This code works fine normally, however when there are spaces , ie ' 's in the input, the output that I have programmed is distorted.

Code:

---

/* main.cpp: The main C++ file for the PowerMath System */
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

char mathInput[100];
string output;

int getInput()
{
    cout << "-> ";
    cin >> mathInput;
   
    return 0;
} 

int processInput()
{
    output="Function Error - No Such Function";
}

int checkExit()
{
    char exitStr[4] = {'e','x','i','t'};
    for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            if(mathInput[i]!=exitStr[i]) { return 0; }
    }
}

int main()
{
    cout << "PowerMath - Advanced Mathematics System\n\n";
    while(checkExit()==0)
    {
    getInput();
    processInput();
    if(checkExit()!=0) {return 0;}
    cout << setw(80) << output << "\n";
    }
    return 0;
}

Any suggestions folks,

If you expect >> to read in something with spaces, it won't.

How can I make it read in with spaces or how can I make another function read in with spaces

It won't, even if you don't expect it to! ;)

Easiest way is with std::getline.

Yeah I'd already figured that out thanks (no help to people here :)).

Thanks for all of your answers though.
