How can I use ignore() and truncate to take 20 char from user input in a name[40] variable.....

When I try to use

cin.get(name,20,'\n');
cin.getline(name,20,'\n');


cin.get(name,20,'\n').get();
cin.getline(name,20,'\n').get();

cin.get(name,20,'\n').ignore(20);
cin.getline(name,20,'\n').ignore(20);

It is not cleaning buffer in while loop.

Thanks in advance

what u could do is, use getchar() and get a single char ina while loop(checking for the limit, 20 in this case) and as and when u get it add it to the array of char.

i dont know if this is what u want.

Also, after the count of 20 is over, you can flush the buffer using function fflush and then break the while loop.
