getting user input past a space

[2EwbqMoL]

I've tried a few things to accomplish this, ranging from c to c++ io functions (cin and scanf) and c++ and c-style (array) strings...

if I use c# or any of the .NET languages, its just a standard part of the input command (Console.ReadLine();)

for example, I'm tyring to write a small simple test app that asks for a users full name (first and last) and spits it back out at them...

right now the code I have is

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

string input;

int main(){
	cout << "Whats your name?: ";
	cin >> input;
	cout << "\nHi " << input << " How are you doing?\n";
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

nothing too complicated at all, Im just trying to get input to take in data after the space -- theres nothing in my code showing this, but thats only because Im not exactly sure what I need to do to accomplish this goal.

I figured switching from char to string would solve it on its own, but perhaps its a problem with cin???

there is the getline function

string str;
getline (cin, str);
