Taking in multiple user inputs at once

[ddevlin1]

Hi everyone, I'm not sure how simple this is but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. I'm building a sort of user file system and I need to take in commands from a user. For example they could type something like "logout" or "mkdir directory1"

Unfortunately I'm not sure about how to take in an unknown amount of inputs. I vaguely remember there being a way to cin everything into an array? that would be ideal...

Thanks

you can use getline(cin, var) or you can use getline(cin, var, until). The second option there is telling it to continue passing characters into a string array until it runs into whatever character you set my until variable to equal, or until the end of the line of course.
Here's an example of what I mean;

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;



int main()
{
string bacon, eggs;
cout<<"write a sentence about bacon"<<endl;
getline(cin,bacon);
cout<<"now write a sentence about eggs with an exclamation point somewhere in the middle of it"<<endl;
getline(cin,eggs,'!');

cout<<bacon[0]<<bacon[1]<<bacon[2]<<bacon[3]<<endl;
cout<<bacon<<endl;
cout<<eggs<<endl;

return 0;

}
