Thread: Looking for feedback on program segment

Heey, this is going to be my first post here, so be gentle
I have been working toward writing a text-based roleplaying game, and decided to stick this thread here, since this segment of the game is more related to C++ than game programming in general.
I'm hoping to get some feedback on how I did the user error checking throughout the program. As it is, it compiles great, but the huge amount of code needed for error checking leads me to believe there may have been a more efficient way of doing it. Any help would be appreciated. In advance, I apologize for the giant block of code. The implementation file I'm putting here wouldn't really make sense without its entirety.

Oh, and I'm pretty new to C++, so I'm sure my formatting could use some work. I'm working on it based on what I've seen other people do.

Code:

void CharCreate::CreateChar()
{
	gHasData = true;
	Body body;
	string tempStr;
	string choice;
	string tempString;
	string tempString1;
	string tempStr1;
	int temp;
	bool choices = false;
	bool isChoice = false;
	bool validChoice = false;
	bool validName = false;
	bool isValid = true;
	bool hasSpace = false;
	Output out;
	while(!choices)
	{
	choices = false;
	isChoice = false;
	while(!validName)
	{                              //out.Print is my word-wrap function. I couldn't find an
                                        // existing function that worked for this.
	out.Print("Welcome to character creation. Please enter a name for your character.\n");
	out.Arrow();
	getline(cin, tempString);
	out.End();
