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

For my program, I wrote the following bit of code that reads every single character of input until ctrl+x is pressed. Here's the code:

char a;
string b;
while (a != 24)
{
cin.get(a);
b=b+a;
}
cout << b;

For Ctrl+z, enter this:

char a;
string b;
while (a != 26)
{
cin.get(a);
b=b+a;
}
cout << b;

I can't confirm that the ctr+z solution works, as I'm on a UNIX machine, and ctrl+z kills the program. It may or may not work for windows, however; You'd have to see for yourself.
