Thread: cin.getline help

I changed cin to cin.getline and when I try to Compile the code I get this.
I'm using MinGW Developer Studio.

Compiling source file(s)...
File1.cxx
File1.cxx: In function `int main()':
File1.cxx:20: error: no matching function for call to `std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::getline(std::string&, int)'
G:\MinGWStudio\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\ ..\..\..\..\include\c++\3.4.2\bits\istream.tcc:582 : note: candidates are: std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>& std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>::getline(_CharT*, std::streamsize, _CharT) [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>]

Heres my cin.getline

cin.getline(text1,256);

I like the C string class too.

Anyways, uh, I guess on topic, you need to choose between the STL getline or the istream getline.

Look at the examples/prototypes for the use. And this should probably be in the C++ section.

Thanks very much I've got it fixed now.
