Re: [Dev-C++] Spaces in strings?

[philip m. <mor...@ho...>]

  const int LEN = 80;
  char str[LEN];

  cout << "Enter string: " << flush;
  cin.getline(str, LEN); // use default '\n' delimeter
  cout << str << endl;

In the above example getline will just keep reading in characters
(whether they are tabs, spaces or anything else) until:

1) LEN - 1 characters have been read
2) it encounters the delimeter specified by the 3rd argument (which
    defaults to the newline character)
3) it reaches the end of the file

whichever happens first - see
