getline problems?

[Bonster]

I have a retrieve function, but I am not sure why it isnt working like I want it to with getline? Here is the code

string sInID,sLN,sFN,sGPA;
	string selecting = "";
	int keeptrack;
	cout << "Please select how to retrieve by entering the WORDS IN THE PARENTHESIS ONLY: ID (id) Last(last) First (first) or GPA(gpa)?" << endl;
	getline(cin, selecting);
	cout << selecting;
	if (selecting != "id" || selecting != "last" || selecting != "first" || selecting != "gpa" )
	{
		cout << "Incorrect!" << endl;
		Retrieve();
	}
	if (selecting == "id")
	{
		cout << "Please enter Student ID" << endl;
		cin >> sInID;
		retrieveID(sInID);
	}

and so on, but that is the main part to see. It ALWAYS outputs "Incorrect!" and loops into function, even though I type in "last" or "id". :( Can someone please help to figure out how to fix it or what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

edit:I cout selecting to make sure it takes the string like I type it, and it does....so i am really lost.

Look at your first if statement. Note that it is always true.

Also, I hope you are not recursively calling functions instead of just using a loop.
