Getline delimiter

[Chris Schumacher]

Is there a way to set the delimiter to the "enter" key? I've tried the
ASCII values for carriage return, line feed, form feed, and even null
but it doesn't work.
Thanks.

I guess you mean newline here.

"doesn't work" is not a good description. Post a minimal, but complete
program that shows the behaviour you observe and describe what happens
instead of the expected.
The default delimeter for getline is newline, so it should actually work
if you don't explicitly provide one.

There is no such thing in C++ as <<"enter" key>>, so, no it is not
possible without going to some kind of platform-specific functionality.

If you explain what problem you're trying to solve, and post the code
that you think doesn't work, perhaps we'd be able to recommend some
solution.

Just a hunch: there is a version of the standard library out there in
which in order to get 'getline' to return you have to press "Enter"
twice. All you need is to find a better version of the standard
library, I guess.
