Thread: Hi, I'm having some difficulty with the getline command:

Ok so im trying to write a simple program that stores user imput and I'm having problems with the getline command. The code is as follows:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x;
    string p1;
    ofstream Prod ( "Example.txt", ios::app );

do {


    cout<<"Input#1 "<<"\n";
    getline (cin, p1);
    Prod<< p1 <<"\n";

    cout<<"Input#2"<<"\n";
    cin>> p1;
    Prod<< p1 <<"\n";
    cin.ignore();

    cout<<"Input#3"<<"\n";
    cin>> p1;
    Prod<< p1 <<"\n";
    cin.ignore();

    p1 = ();
    cout<<"Repeat operation?:\n";
    cout<<"1)  Yes\n";
    cout<<"2)  No\n";
    cin>> x;
    } while (x != 2);
    
    cin.get();
}

When I run the program, it works until it asks me if I want to repeat the operation. If I choose to do so, it will cout Imput#1 without allowing me to input any information, and skips to Input#2 but this time allowing to type something.

Any help is much appreciated! Thank you.

cin.ignore(); Thanks a million the program works great now...
