Please help! Input troubles with TinyXML

[Terra Ray]

Hey everyone! Tiny XML has been great so far but I'm having what I feel like is a really basic problem but it's been stumping me pretty bad... What I need to do is just take input from Cin and put it into the TiXmlElement and TiXmlText classes. I can't seem to get it so that I can take in something in a reasonable format that will also preserve any spaces I have.

I want to be able to input things like "Tem Village" or a small paragraph of text between my tags, and it's only reading in the first element. I've tried doing things like this:

std::cout << "We're taking input now." << std::endl;
std::string toTake;
std::cin >> toTake;

TiXmlElement * element2 = new TiXmlElement(toTake);
variables.LinkEndChild(element2);
variables.SaveFile();

Tried running the TiXmlBase::SetCondenseWhiteSpace(false); method with no results.. Please help! This is very important to what I'm working on and any help would be greatly apprecaited!

Been banging my head on it for a few hours... Tried the c_str method to try and convert a string to a const char * once I have it but it still only copies the first word of my input into the XML document...

If anyone has done this before I could really use your help!

It seems to me this isn't a TinyXml problem.

If you want to read a paragraph of text you'll need something more than
what you've typed with cin.

And once you have a paragraph, if you want to keep text with newlines and
spaces you'll need to use a CDATA block:

Ha ha yeah I realized that last night... I feel like an idiot for not using GetLine but now I am and everything is fine! If only I could fix my damn segmentation faults! Thank you though!
