this is me code, i need strlen to recognise the sapces, how do you do this.
Code:#include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main () { char * buffer; char tbuffer[100]; int len; int leng; ofstream a; a.open("test.txt",ios::binary); cout<<"please type a sentence > "; cin>> tbuffer; len=strlen(tbuffer); a.write(tbuffer,len); tbuffer[len]=0; cout<< strlen(tbuffer); cin.get(); a.close(); }

It's not strlen that gives you a wrong result its's the operator >> that doesn't read strings containing spaces.
You have to use getline() to read a whole line of text including spaces.

can you show me an example cause i don't want to read the line i need the number of letters

ok i see what you are saying
cin>> won't read the spaces
use getline
cool cheers

but i'm using binary mode on my io,,, which doesn't recognise getline....
what should i use instead

dont use ios::binary leave that parameter out then try cin.getline(tbuffer);
what is the difference between binary and no binary LOL...

Basically it's just the way the end of line is handled. in textmode if you read or write a '\n' from or to the stream the '\n' is translated to whatever end of line marks your OS uses. In binary mode this translation is not done.
