Thread: getline problem

I believe this is a getline problem. I am trying to get a string in with a space. EX: getline(cin, fullname); I have about 4 of these getline functions. I use cin once to input a double and so I use cin.ignore() to clear the last getline. The problem occurs when I try to output this information. Some of the data is lost or outputed in the wrong spot for some reason. Have no clue why. Also the first getline function makes hit enter twice for it to take in the string i entered. This is for a friend or mine. thanks.
