First of all i think you are here for help not we are hearing your order that ........

what is this "have there any genious one who tell me"

First of all you try at your end very hard and if the problem persist for so long then come here

and the code which you are looking for is this one

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

#define LENGTH 100
#define EOL    '\n'

int main() {
  char name[LENGTH] = {0};
  while (1) {
    std::cout << "Please enter your name !!!" << std::endl;
    std::cin.getline(name, 100, EOL);
    std::cout << "Welecome " << name << std::endl;
    memset(name, 0, LENGTH);
  }
  return 0;
}

Your code which is working at my end with one getline after getline

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

char id[500000];
char age[3] = {0};
char fileHandle[]=".txt";
char* fileName;
char input[100000];

int main() {
  while (1) {

    cout<<"PORTFOLIO EDITOR-FILE CREATION TEST"<<endl;
    cout<<"Basically you type in the id number, it gets used in the creation of a file called that number plus .txt"<<endl;
    cout<<"ENTER ID NUMBER"<<endl;
    cin>>id;
    cout<<"Now give me something to write into the file"<<endl;

    cin.ignore();
    cin.getline(input,99990,'\n');

    cout << "Please enter your age also !!!" << endl;
    cin.getline(age, 3, '\n');

    fileName=strcat(id,fileHandle);
    ofstream fout(fileName);
    fout << age;
    fout << "  ";
    fout << input;
    fout.close();
  }

  return 0;
}

This thread was moved to avoid resurrecting: problem with cin.getline().

aamirbwppk, you can find the information you seek by searching online, e.g., getline. As for your specific problem: you should post the smallest and simplest compilable program that demonstrates the problem instead of resurrecting a thread that may well not be related to your problem.

RockyMarrone, I am afraid that your assistance may well be in vain. If Waldo2k2 is still having problem with the original topic... something must be seriously wrong :)
