Problem with convert and data input

[fullmetalboy]

Hi everybody!

I'm a newbie to C++ and I need some help to improve my skills in c++.

*When you make input data "cafe monde" into a string variable, the variable only accept "cafe" and not the white space and "monde". What should I do to retrieve white space, "monde" and "cafe" into the same string variable after data input?

*Another obstacle I'm facing is to convert char to string. The char also can contain white space or numbers/alphabets. I tried findin' the solution on Internet but I don't really understand the conversation or the code don't work.

Use getline(...) to read an entire line into a string. The normal cin handler uses any white space as the delimiter but by default getline uses end of line.

There shouldn't be any problem converting characters to a string just assign or add them to the string object.

I already had tried this sourcecode from "]http://www.cplusplus.c om/reference/string/getline/" and it doesn't work. When I execute his sourcecode it just go through without askin' 'bout requestin' for data input. You can read "thank you, " but no data contain in the string variable str.


"There shouldn't be any problem converting characters to a string just assign or add them to the string object."

Can you explain with concrete solution by sourcecode? It would be great to understand better.

try putting [url]http://bytes.com/topic/c/answers/...[/url] round web links then the forum will actually create a link to the site.

Did you try that exact example without alteration because it works for me? What compiler are you using?

  char a = '7';
  string text;
  text = a;
