cin >> char with a space...

[Halsafar]

What is up with space:

char pName[255];
cin >> pName;

"Input: Word then space";

string strName = pName;
cout << strName <<endl;

"Output: Word"



So I geuss, what is the correct way to accept user input...

[NickMeuir]

Cin reads until the first whitespace.

Try this:

int main()
{
	char pName[256];
	cin.getline( pName, 256 );

	cout << pName << endl;

}

Thats not working....
What you posted just tries to get the line which is not being inputted...
If I use cin then what you posted the first like 6 letters are always cut out...

How about this:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   string buffer;
   getline(cin, buffer);
}

It is always a good reason to flush the buffer before using a cin.getline()...

So try doing this and see if it helps...

cin.flush()
