If I use the cin.getline(aString,int something)command the program runs well on the first time but if i restart the program by f.e. calling main for the second time, the program skips the cin.getline.
What do I have to do to solve this problem?

I was under the influence that calling main somewhere in your program was considered bad practice, anyhow.
Otherwise, I'd suggest you need to flush out your input buffer ( ::dodges Hammer:: but not using fflush!! ). Just throw in an endl somewhere after you use cin.getline.

Been on that apple cider again Kendo :p
He's right though....never call main() yourself
Yes, it even yields undefined behaviour.Quote:

If you're allowed to do this then you're not using C++. Calling main recursively is illegal and results in a compile time error. It's allowed in C, but not a good idea.
