std::getline does not work inside a for-loop

Question

I\'m trying to collect user\'s input in a string variable that accepts whitespaces for a specified amount of time.

Since the usual cin >> str does

Answer 1

You can directly use getline function in string using delimiter as follows:

#include 
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string str;
    getline(cin,str,'#');
    getline(cin,str,'#');
}

you can input str as many times as you want but one condition applies here is you need to pass '#'(3rd argument) as delimiter i.e. string will accept input till '#' has been pressed regardless of newline character.
