New to C ++ programming have a course in it this semester... I am curious and I don't see it in my text, if there is a way to read the next character in a string?

Suppose the user enters a string of "tree" I need to capture each letter individually and then pass that value off to another part of the program.

The problem I am working on is to take an user input string and then have it spelled out military style

So if the user input the word "tree" I need to come back with tango romeo echo echo as my output... and I am trying to do that by breaking the string into single characters and passing their value to a switch, but as my post indicates I'm stuck! LOL

Any help is greatly appreciated!
