Help w/isupper function

I have this program that I need to write in a name.....for example "Richard Michael Smith" and output just their initials. I can't figure out how to output just the initials.
I have
cout << "Enter in your name " ;
getline(cin,name);

then i'm thinking
if (isupper.... ?

i don't know how to only count the single initials from a string as a char like isupper checks only a single character at a time.

If someone could help me on this one, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Nick:)

You could make an array of characters, and the initials will be the first char followed by the letters after spaces. (sorry I don't feel like writing code)

You need to read in the name as a string, then parse each part of the name out using strtok(). Once you have each token then just use the first character of each token and you have your intials. If you need example code post again. (if someone else doesn't post it)

Yeah, could you give some example code for it? I would appreciate it. Thanks

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::cin;
#include <cstring>


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char input[255],*token = 0;
cout << "Enter your name" << endl;
cin.getline(input,254);
token = strtok(input," ");

do{
cout << token[0] << " ";
token = strtok(NULL," ");
}while(token);
  return 0;
}

Try that.
