c++ - How to get a set of words with spaces as one input in C? -


in program created need customer information array. below codes regarding question.

struct customertype {     string fname;     string lname;     char gender;     string address;     string contactno; };  customertype customer[1000]; 

i have following code input user. here i index of customer i'm getting information about.

string add=""; cout<<left<<"\n"<<setw(29)<<"\t\t name"<<": ";     cin>>customer[i].fname>>customer[i].lname; cout<<left<<"\n"<<setw(29)<<"\t\t gender"<<": ";     cin>>customer[i].gender; cout<<left<<"\n"<<setw(29)<<"\t\t address"<<": ";     getline(cin,add); customer[i].address=add; cout<<left<<"\n"<<setw(29)<<"\t\t contact no."<<": ";     cin>>customer[i].contactno; 

but when run program, asks input name, gender , contact no. not address. works there no getline command.

how fix this?

this old problem if "getline doens't skip newline in input, operator >> does" problem. simple solutions include:

  1. use cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); skip on next newline (assuming less 1000 characters before newline). line goes before getline call.
  2. use getline read data in general, , use other methods read out actual content. [in case, 1 difficult gender member variable - want deal writing "female" , address becomes "emale" in way anyway, may not big issue.
