keyboard buffert.

Hi.

I wrote a program that lets me put in 2 games, then the program display the 2 games and ask me what game I would like to delete.

The problem occurs when im trying to write a game with two names (king kong for example)
the program thinks that the whitespace between the names means that im done with my first game.
so the program displays that I have 2 games and they are named king and kong.
How do I ignore that whitespace?

Code:

---

int main()
{       
        string list;
        string list1;
        vector<string> gList;
        vector<string>::iterator game;
        vector<string>::const_iterator myGame;

        cout << "Please insert a game you would like to add: ";
            cin >> list;
        gList.push_back(list);
        cout << "Please insert another game: ";
        cin >> list1;
        gList.push_back(list1);
               
        cout << "you got " << gList.size() << " games.";
        for(game = gList.begin(); game != gList.end(); ++game)
        cout << "\nAnd they are: " << " " << *game;
        getch();
        system("cls");
        string choice;
        cout << "Would you like to remove " << list << " or " << list1 << "?";
        cin >> choice;
        if(choice == list)
        {
                gList.erase(gList.begin());
        }
        else if(choice == list1)
        {                   
                gList.erase((gList.begin()+1));
        }
                cout << "You now got " << gList.size() << " game left.";
                for(myGame = gList.begin(); myGame != gList.end(); ++myGame)
                cout << "\nAnd it is " << *myGame;
        getch();
        return 0;
}

comon, some1? :P

Code:

---

std::getline(std::cin,list);

---

should work.

well If I use that, the program will not delete a game

now it did, lol..

thanks! =)

what does getline really do? that is so different from cin

Also just to be a pain.

Code:

---

cout << "You now got " << gList.size() << " game left.";

---

should be

Code:

---

if ( gList.size() > 1 )
  cout << "You now have " << gList.size() << " games left.";
else
  cout << "You now have 1 game left.";

---

Mainly just correcting your grammar there. "You now got" should be "You now have"

Doesn't stop at spaces?

true tabstop ^^

And thx raigne

std::getline() you can choose the delimiting character. Can be used with std::cin, and also other streams, such as std::ofstream.

The third parameter is the delimiter.

Code:

---

//This one stops at the first 'a' character
std::getline(std::cin,some_string,'a');

---

I tried to write the code using char arrays before, because the program did not let me write 2 named games.. cin.getline(list,xxx) fixed that problem.

But did not now how to do it with strings, but now I do ^^
