Nope, Alfred, it doesn't do the job as about all I get out of same is =
one letter or word at the most.  Here's the code to a complete little =
program and though I see what I type it only prints out the first word.  =
We're missing something here somewhere.  Oh well more reading is due I =
guess.  Thanks for this.

#include <cstdlib>

    When it runs type 'Plumbing is my business.' and it will only print =
out Plumbing.


  There's different methods.  If you're using cout then that implies =
C++.  Use the string class instead of the char keyword.  The string =
class with cin would already separate the input at the newline =
character.

  Then it would be (provided sentences where input with the Enter key):
  string line;
  cin >> line;
  cout << line;

  For char's it's a little harder as you have to capture the tokens.  =
Look up String Manipulation on the Microsoft Run-Time Library Reference =
Site. strtok is an example.  It also depends on whether you are =
terminating sentences on newlines, ". ", or whatever your token is.  As =
an example, "This is a test. This is another." would have a token ". " =
for the first sentence, and a terminating token of ".\n"  You'd have to =
separate the two, and would have to handle the time when the user =
forgets the period!

  There's also formatted input, which I haven't used in so long that =
I've forgotten how to use it!  See Standard C I/O, and C++ I/O from the =
C/C++ Reference site.  Check out my links page section on Programming at =
http://www.geocities.com/alreaud/Links_Page.htm.  Just use the left =
frame, click on Computers and Internet, then click on Programming.

  Hope this helps!=20

    I know that char name [85];  lets one enter a good long name but I =
