Hi,
I need to have my program recognize the space key. For example if I typed in "Hello Everyone", my program reads back "HelloEveryone". This is a simple example of what I am doing:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
while(1){
char letter;
cin>>letter;
cout<<letter;
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
Thanks
It is an example, so it is not what you're really doing? I mean, this example is probably representive, but the should be found in the real code.
In general, checking if letter is the space is quite easy:
if (letter == ' ')
Look into cin.get() and cin.getline. Depending on what you're trying to do one of these should work for you.
Code:int main() { char myText[256]; cin.getline(myText, 256); cout << myText << "\n"; return 0; }

Code:int main() { char s[101]; cin.getline(s, 100); for (int i=0; i < 100; i++) { if (s[i] == ' '){ continue; } else if (s[i] == '\0') { break; } else { cout << s[i]; } return 0; }
Should be:char s[101];
cin.getline(s, 100);
char s[101];
cin.getline(s, 101);
No need to drop the null character cin.getline will take care of that.
Read the post again. I think this is the old newbie question: Why does cin ignore spaces? He/she is trying to output "Hello Everyone," rather than "HelloEveryone."
cin.getline will solve this.
