Here's my code - I'm trying to make a simplistic program that allows the user to type in whatever he/she wants and then have the items displayed for them.

With arrays, as I have found, I can only get a word until the [space], which is not what I want. What can I do here?

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <IOSTREAM.H>
#include <IOMANIP.H>
#include <STDLIB.H>
#include <CONIO.H>


int main()
{
clrscr();

char *input[10], yn, yes;

yes = 'Y';


cout<<"Type in Note 1, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin >> input[0];
cout<<endl;

cout<<"Type in Note 2, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin >> input[1];
cout<<endl;

cout<<"Type in Note 3, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin >> input[2];
cout<<endl;

cout<<"Type in Note 4, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin>>input[3];
cout<<endl;



clrscr();


cout<<"Would you like to see your input?"<<endl;
cin >> yn;
cout << endl;

if ( yn == yes )
{
	cout<<input[0]<<endl;
	cout<<input[1]<<endl;
	cout<<input[2]<<endl;
	cout<<input[3]<<endl;
};

 getch();

}

Try this out:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <IOSTREAM> // compiled on Dev-Cpp, looks like you're using Turbo C++
#include <IOMANIP.H>
#include <STDLIB.H>
#include <CONIO.H>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
// clrscr();

char *input[10], yn, yes;
char note1[50], note2[50], note3[50], note4[50], note5[50], note6[50]; 
// note all the extra char's
yes = 'this can be done easier';


cout<<"Type in Note 1, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin >> note1 >> note5 >> note6; // this is for multiple input 
cout<< endl;

cout<<"Type in Note 2, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin >> note2; // this will not have multiple input, see why?
cout<< endl;

cout<<"Type in Note 3, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin >> note3;
cout<< endl;

cout<<"Type in Note 4, please:"<<endl<<endl;
cin>> note4;
cout<< endl;



// clrscr();


cout<<"Would you like to see your input? (Y/N)"<<endl;
cin >> yn;
cout << endl;

if ( yn == 'Y' ) // much easier than to put if (yn == yes)
{
	cout<<note1 << " " << note5 << " " << note6 <<endl; // shows the string, has spaces
	cout<<note2<<endl;
	cout<<note3<<endl;
	cout<<note4<<endl;
}

 getch();

}

/****************************
Output:
Type in Note 1, please:

a long string

Type in Note 2, please:

dodah

Type in Note 3, please:

dumdum

Type in Note 4, please:

tada

Would you like to see your input? (Y/N)
Y

a long string
dodah
dumdum
tada
*************************/

There we go.

This isn't modern C++. These libraries are deprecated - it's not recommended you use them. You can find more info in the C++ FAQ.

Thanks man, that helps me out a lot .

This one will suite your needs better.. more simple to use as well

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
using std::string;

int main()
{
    string mystring; // declare a strings name, much like a variable
    cout << "Enter a string: "; // Normal output, telling the user to input their string
    cin >> mystring; // Input your string 
    cout << mystring << endl; // Print your string to the screen
    system("pause"); // This is just added so that you can see what happened 
}

I know, but I'm using an older version of Turb C++.
Also, I was brought up using the headers like that. *shrugs*

My compiler doesn't seem to recognize any of the following:

#include <string.h>

#include <string>

or

#include <string>
using std::string;

what is wrong with this?

(Toggle Plain Text)

cin.get(myString,LengthOfString,'\n');

And the string thing doesn't work for me either, it cuts off after the first word, and I'm using Dev-Cpp. Magius, you would be better off getting a newer compiler.

I would, but the firewall behind this machine won't allow it. I'm on a computer at school, and I can't get anything better than Turbo C++. I have Dev C++ and Borland C++ at home, but here I'm stuck with Turbo C++.
