Stoping my array

I have the following:

char super[30];
for(nt = 0; nt < 30; nt++)
cin >> super[nt];

I am inputting a line such as 24 + 5 - 2 =
and I want the array to stop letting characters in once someone types the = sign and hits enter. Any ideas? thanks for your help in advance!

Well this is not the right way to do this.
A better way would be to use:

Code:

---

while(nt!="=")
{
  //do code here
}

This will work, but does require the user to hit enter. It reads to = sign and stopes. The cin.ignore is to clear everything from the = to the enter.

Code:

---


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

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        char  cLine[81];
        cin.get( cLine, 80, '=' );
        cin.ignore( 80, '\n' );

        return 0;
}
