Looks complicated for a beginner. Thanks for the help though, my eyes have been opened :P

Few more questions ;)

How works that type-checking using cin.getline?

My compiler gives an error when i use cin.getline(input): he dont recognize that function with var-type string. You know wy?

Error:

12 C:\prog\test.cpp no matching function for call to `std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::getline(std::string&)'

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
  char input[256] = {0};

  cout << "Enter a sentence with spaces: \n>";
  cin.getline(input, 256);
  cout << "You entered: " << input << endl;

  string input2 = "";
  cout << "input another sentece with spaces: \n>";
  cin >> input2;
  cout << "This time you have: " << input2 << endl;
  cout << "hmmm that's not right" << endl;

  cout << "Done." << endl;
  return 0;
}

Sorry, I often just write string instead of char[]. As they can often be used in place of each other :)

Oke, simply dont use strings :) I could have come up with that myself... Thanks anyway

Ps. Great link!

You will notice that cin >> input; terminates after the space char and doesn't read anymore than 1 word. Another reason to use getline();
