    Yeah...try cin.getline()


    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using std::cout;
    using std::cin;
    using std::endl;
    
    int main(void){
    
    	const int ARRAYLENGTH = 50;
    	char buff[ARRAYLENGTH];
    
    	cout << "Type something with spaces" << endl;
    
    	cin.getline(buff,ARRAYLENGTH-1);
    
    	cout << "You wrote " << buff << endl;
    	return 0;
    
    }

    Hmm...maybe your compiler is old....substitute

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using std::cout;
    using std::cin;
    using std::endl;
    for

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    If this works, great, but seriously consider a new compiler! There are loads free on the web for download
