Array of Strings

[amalthea]

Hi,
I need to create an array of strings. The input will include spaces, and I need the program not to terminate if a space is entered by the user. Any tips?

What library will you be using?
MFC?
STL?
A combination?
If you open a stream using the IOS library in the STL you can call a getLine function that doesn't terminate until, obviously, you have reached the end of the line. Is this what you're looking for? MYenigmaSELF:-9

Yes, what is the syntax for the getline function?

 

[Leibnitz]

istream& getline( char* pch, int nCount, char delim = '\n' );
pch
A pointer to a character array.
nCount
The maximum number of characters to store, including the terminating NULL.
delim
The delimiter character (defaults to newline).

an example:
#include <iostream.h>
.....
.......
char *array = new char[100];
.....
cin.getline( array, 100, '\n' ); // or simply cin.getline( array, 100 )
....
.....
delete array;
