Spaces not working.
We are trying to make the console type what the user inputs but when the user uses a space it only uses what is before the space.
our code is:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
cout << "What do you want to spam?(no spaces)" << endl;
int x;
char input[20];
cin >> input;
for (x=0;x<2147000000;x++)
cout << input;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
also, help on getting it to work on microsoft word would help too. we are using the Dev C++ compiler.

cin stops reading at the space, use getline http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/getline/
What do you mean getting it to work on Word, what are you trying to do?

If you mean making it into a word document, then this would be non trivial, and require an 3rd party library, possibly proprietary.
On the other hand, you are happy to make it into a plain text file, you could use <fstream>. Then you can write to a file pretty much as easily as writing to standard output,
If this isn't what you mean then feel free to ignore this post. If on the other hand, it is, bear in mind that the file created would be length_of_user_input times 2 billion, i.e. a five character input would (I think) result in a 10GB file.

Glad to be of help :)
If you really are going to write that to a file, I very much recommend you reduce the loop count to maybe a few hundred. As I said, the resulting file is going to be *huge* if you write the string to it 2 billion times.
