trapping control character in getline

I have a text input system that recognises and includes white spaces, however for formatting reasons i want to include the option to inlclude a new line and it still to be recognised as the same array.

My code is as follows
//includes
//setup etc
char TextString[256];
cin.getline(TextString, 256);


this works and gets the string with spaces but i want the users to be able to add a new line - pressing enter enters the text. I am stuck, please help

istream::getline takes three parameters, the third of which is the delimeter. By default it is '\n' so istream::getline returns when it encounters a getline. Change this to whatever you want your delimeter to be to have it end then:

Code:

---

char TextString[256];
cin.getline(TextString, 256, 'x'); // Stores any characters from cin in TextString until an 'x' is encountered.
