Thread: Flushing extra characters

What should I do if I only want to display the sentence'Please enter only one char' once? should the user enter more than one character?
My program will repeat the above sentence countless times if enter a garbage like 'aksljdjlsadklsadklasdlkjaslkdjsakldjasljdlk'. I have read the faq but alas do not understand what is being said there.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
	char c[10];
	cout<<"Please enter only a character\n";
	cin.get(c, 10 , '\n');
	cout<<strlen(c)<<endl;

	if(strlen(c)>1)
	{
		cout<<"Please enter only one char\n";
	}

	cin.ignore();
	cin.clear();
        return 0;
}
