Thread: Bug in my barely-started text-based game program

Here's the code, explanation of what's wrong at the moment at the bottom.

Code:

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

using namespace std;

int main () {
    string select;
    
    cout << "Welcome to Link's Grand Quest!\n";
    cout << "Select an option:" << endl << endl;
    cout << "Create Character (press c)\n";
    cout << "Load Character (press l)\n";
    cout << "Creator (press r)\n";
    cout << "Exit (press e)\n";
    cin.ignore(80, '\n');
    cin >> select;
    if (select == "c" || select == "C") {
               cout << "I'm sorry, this feature is not available yet";
    }
    else if (select == "l" || select == "L") {
         cout << "I'm sorry, this feature is not available yet";
    }
    else if (select == "r" || select == "R") {
         cout << "I'm sorry, this feature is not available yet";
    }
    else if (select == "e" || select == "E") {
    }
    else {
//         while (select != "c" || select != "C" || select != "l" || select != "L" || select != "r" || select != "R" || select != "e" || select != "E") {
//               cout << "I'm sorry, you did not select an option. Please select from below:\n\n";
//               cout << "Create Character (press c)\n";
//               cout << "Load Character (press l)\n";
//               cout << "Creator (press r)\n";
//               cout << "Exit (press e)\n";
//               cin >> select;
//               if (select == "c" || select == "C") {
//                          cout << "I'm sorry, this feature is not available yet";
//               }
//               else if (select == "l" || select == "L") {
//                    cout << "I'm sorry, this feature is not available yet";
//               }
//               else if (select == "r" || select == "R") {
//                    cout << "I'm sorry, this feature is not available yet";
//               }
//               else if (select == "e" || select == "E") {
//                    cout << "I'm sorry, this feature is not available yet";
//               }
//               else {
//               }
//         }
    }
    cin.get();
}

I commented out the parts I don't want running in the program for now, and the bug still exists, so I know the bug resides somewhere in the first cin >> select;'s area. When I type "c", it doesn't output a single thing, and you have to input something else (although enters don't seem to work) to get the program to close after that point. No matter what I use on cin >> select;, it does this. Any help?
