Reading a full line of input

Question

I\'m trying to store the input that user enters through console. so I need to include the \"enter\" and any white space.

But cin stops giving me input a

Answer 1

is there a way like readLines till CTRL+Z is pressed or something ??

Yes, precisely like this, using the free std::getline function (not the istream method of the same name!):

string line;

while (getline(cin, line)) {
    // do something with the line
}

This will read lines (including whitespace, but without ending newline) from the input until either the end of input is reached or cin signals an error.
