In order for it to say you chosen kenaki!! you have to type it twice I want the user to type once to work Thanks -- Programmer X

[Ganado]

Edit your post (bottom-right corner) and add [code] and [/code] tags so that your code is more pleasant to look at.

but will output the information after the user types the characters name twice

Did you write this code? You are calling getline 3x times. It sounds like you want the player to type in 1 name, so why do you call getline 3 times? The other problem is that mixing getline and cin can lead to some weird behavior when newlines are kept in cin's buffer.

Add a cin.ignore() before your calls to getline to remove the newline.

cin.ignore()
getline(cin,anime_Character);

Then, compare anime_Character to "kenaki" or "Goku", or whatever.

Could you tell me how to write it I'm not too sure I'm new to c++ Thanks for the reply.

[Ganado]

Step one is to edit your OP post like I said, by formatting your code. Step two is to remove the multiple getline calls and just have the cin.ignore(); followed by getline(cin, anime_Character).

Then, instead of checking if goku_Dbz == "Goku", have anime_Character == "Goku"

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/control/ <-- read about if-statements.

[Programmer X]

So should i write
cin.ignore();
getline(cin,anime_Character);
keep doing it for the rest? and please i don't want to bother you but what do you mean OP post im scratching my head all over it Thank you you helping me alot!!!

[Ganado]

I meant your first post. Go to the "Edit" button at the bottom of it, and add [code] before the start of your code, and [/code] after your code ends, so that your code gets formatted correctly.

Read the tutorial on control I posted, and try to fix your code, and if you still can't figure it out, post what you tried.

[Programmer X]

It seemed to work Thanks your a lifesaver i can't thank you more not in a million years would i be able to have solved that without you guidance and help Thanks for everything!!!!

Any use of cin is subject to errors that need to be handled to prevent the infinite output loop.
