Making the Enter Key do a Return

Hi,
I'm writing a text editor program, but I need the enter key to go down a line instead of entering in data. Does anyone have any ideas? This is what I have:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
char mytext[256];
cin.getline(mytext, 255);

cout<<mytext<<endl;
}

Thanks

Since getline stops entering info into your array everytime a newline is inputted (based on default behaviour) you could place one manually everytime it returns. As you're using C-style strings you can strcat a '\n' each time.

Could you give me an example?
Thanks

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
char mytext[256];
cin.getline(mytext, 255);
strcat(mytext,"\n");

cout<<mytext<<endl;

return 0;
}

also, you'll probably have to add

#include <cstring>

to the preprocessor stuff.

Okay this is what I have now:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
char mytext[256];
cin.getline(mytext, 255);
strcat(mytext,"\n");

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

It still goes right to the system("PAUSE") and doesn't do a return.

Oh, I think I understand what you mean. You'll need a character to terminate input otherwise your wordprocessor will never end -

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
char mytext[256];
// ! ends the word processor
cin.getline(mytext, 255,'!');

cout << mytext << endl;

return 0;
}

Bear in mind your documents are limited to 255 characters with no ability to edit lines that you've already entered.

Hey that works perfect!
Thanks
