Cin error bit

[tdog]

I am reading in io input using 'cin' in a do-while loop. But the
error bit apparenlty keeps getting set, leaving the console in a
"frozen" state until I hit enter twice.
How do I reset this error bit?
Thanks.

Don't forget to put in some example code in order to get a good
answer. These fellers are picky about that

Sample code (that errors):

bool bNotValidInput = false;
string sInputData;

do
{
cin.clear();
cin >> sInputData;

//freezes here

if( ...Some-Data-Check...)
{
bNotValidInput = true;
}
else
{
bNotValidInput = false;
} //if

} while (bNotValidInput);

PLEASE, do not top-post.

bool bNotValidInput = false;

// > string sInputData;

std::string sInputData;

do{

// > cin.clear();
// > cin >> sInputData;
std::cin >> sInputData;

file://freezes here

if( ...Some-Data-Check...){
bNotValidInput = true;
}
else{
bNotValidInput = false;
} // if

std::cin.clear();
// try this:
// #include <limits>
