Strings in if() statements

[bosko]

Hi all
So I'm having a bit of an issue;
Here's my code

back_to_prompt:
        cout << prompt;
            cin >> input;

        if(input == "nmap")
        {
            cout << "Usage: \"nmap <target>\"" << endl;
            goto back_to_prompt;
        }

        if(input == "nmap 23.56.132.98")
        {
            cout << "Scanning host please wait . . ." << endl;
            Sleep(1500);
            cout << "PORT\tSTATE\tPROTOCOL" << endl;
            cout << "21/tcp\tOPEN\tftp"<< endl;
        }

if I type in 'nmap'; then it does as it's supposed to and goes to the first if statement. However if I type in 'nmap 23.56.132.98' it doesn't do the if-statement it was supposed to and goes to the first one.

How do I fix this?

Try using getline(cin,input); instead of cin >> input;. The reason for this is because when you type in "nmap 23.56.132.98" std::cin only reads until any whitespace, in this case it will stop after nmap which makes your fist if statement true.
