Cout<< Problems!

The screen displays Hello when I use cout<<"hello"; for only like one second (I think because I have virtual DOS) But I need it to stay untill I press enter or something what is the command for that?

Someone told me before but I forgot, I think it was something like cin.get;

Check the FAQ. Its in there.

You mean getch()?

I found it it was std::cin.get(); but now I need to know how to put charcters (More than one) into my program, like I ask someone to type there name and tell them the name they typed, and I looked all in the FAQ but couldnt find it!

Easiest is to use std::string (in <string>).
For example:

Code:

---

string str;
cin >> str; // Gets you the first word.
getline(cin, str); // Gets you the whole line.

---

*edit*
A relevant link.

I think this is what you are looking for

Code:

---

system("pause")

---

put that right before you return 0;
