deleting a space from a string

say I have this code.

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <cstring.h>

main()
{

    string input;

    cin>>input;
}

---

im writing to a database so if someone inputs a space, it will get screwed up.

This is what i people usually will input:

SMITH,JOHN << lastname comma firstname

If they input:

SMITH, JOHN << lastname comma space firstname

The question is, can i delete the space from the input, so i have only the first example. All code i do needs to be in cstring.h. Any examples is appreciated.

Try this instead of the call to cin's >> operator:

getline ( cin, input );

-Prelude

Just a few corrections.

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h> //iostream, no .h
#include <conio.h>
#include <cstring.h> //cstring, not .h

using namespace std;

main() //eek! use int main( ). main( ) is c.
{

    string input;

    cin>>input;
}

---

#include <cstring.h> //cstring, not .h

actually if you take off the .h, you need to add an additional c at the begging as follows:

#include <ccstring>

Really?

Why is that? I thought that it was <cstring> for c++ and <string.h> for c.
