C++ variable containing spaces

Hi!

I'm writing an application which takes user input and stores it in an array of chars. But how can I make it store spaces? Like if the user types "Hello World" (without quotes) the variable will contain "Hello World", not just "Hello" and the next time it's called it automatically fills in "World"?

I've also tried using a string to store the data, but without success.

I hope you understand what I mean… :p

If you're working from a command line sort of prompt:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>

using namespace std;

string input;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    cout<<"Type a string\n";
    
    std::getline(std::cin, input); // Delimits at the '/n/r' (Enter Key) instead of a space
    
    cout<<input<<endl;
    system("PAUSE"); // Remove if not on WinXP
    return 0;
}

It's not the prettiest code, but I just woke up 20 minutes ago. Enjoy.

#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Enter your name: ";
    string name;
    getline(cin,name);
    cout << "\nYour name is " << name << endl;
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}```
or you can put.....
```markup#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "What is your name?\n";
    char name[40];
    cin.getline(name,39); //39 because we need 1 byte for the terminating byte
    cout << "Your name is " << name << endl;
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}
    

Yes I found that the day after I posted :D But thanks a lot anyway!
