Question about getline function

[l46kok]

Just wondering, for character of arrays, you can set the delimiter manually like

cin.getline(cha racter array, size, delimeter)

But for the STL string, apparently, you have to use the following form of getline

getline(cin, string)



So my question is, is there a way to set the delimeter using the STL string without converting it to character array?

You can't set the delimiter for character arrays, it is always the 0 character '\0'

You can set the delimiter for the function cin.getline( )

If you want to use the cin.getline( ) version of the function for a string you can always call the member function string::c_str
