Thread: scrolling text problem

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
char GetArray()
{
	char text;

	cout<<"Enter the string to scroll now:";
	cin.getline ( text, TEXTLEN );//hmmm this is where i have to make it a variable :D
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main()
{
	GetArray();

	return (0);
}
