Help Adding 2 word choice

[monasmith529]

I am working on this program for class. I have it working fine, but when I try to add a game with 2 words it will only add the first word. What am I missing?

int main()
{
int quit = false;
string remove;
string gameAddition;
vector<string> gameName;
vector<string>::iterator myiterator;
vector<string>::iterator iter;

    cout << "A simple way to remember your favorite games.\n";

//main loop
while (!quit)
{
    string choice;
    cout << "\nEnter a number for your selection choice?\n";
    cout << "\n1. Add a game.\n";
    cout << "\n2. Remove a game.\n";
    cout << "\n3. List all Games.\n";
    cout << "\n4. Stop and exit.\n";
    cout << "\nEnter your selection: ";
    cin >> choice;

    if (choice == "1")
    {

        cout << "\nEnter Game title: ";
        cin >> gameAddition;
        gameName.insert(gameName.end(), gameAddition);


    }
    else if (choice == "2") 
    {

        cout << "\nRemove for a title: ";
        cin >> remove;

        iter = find(gameName.begin(), gameName.end(), remove);
        if (iter != gameName.end())
        {
            cout << "\n" << *iter << " was found and deleted.\n";
            gameName.erase(iter);
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "\nGame not found.\n";
        }
    }
    else if (choice == "3")
    {
        //List Game titles 
        cout << "\nList of Game titles.\n";
        for (iter = gameName.begin(); iter != gameName.end(); ++iter)
        {
            cout << *iter << endl;
        }
    }
    else if (choice == "4")
    {
        cout << "\nPeace out!!\n" << endl;
        quit = true;
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "\nInvalid choice, please choose again.\n";
    }
}
return 0;
    }

If you want to gather more then one word you need to use getline instead of cin.
More info: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/getline/

Example:

	cout << "Please, enter your full name: ";
	cin.ignore(80, '\n');
	getline(std::cin, name);
	cout << "Hello, " << name << "!\n";

If you use cin before getline you will need the cin.ignore, if you don't, like in this example, it is not necessary.

Thanks Joe. I just found that as well and got it working :)
