Get a new line as string

[Bo Yang]

HI,
How can I get a line of data into a string object. With cin.getline
() I can only put the line data into a char *. I want to the line data
be put directly into a string object. And the line may contain space/
tab, so a cin >> string, will not work.
Is there any convinient way to do this? Thanks

Regards!
Bo

std::getline can be used to read directly into a string. It is
available in two forms:

istream& getline ( istream& is, string& str, char delim );
istream& getline ( istream& is, string& str ); //uses '\n' as
delimiter

Use the non-member function std::getline.

#include <string>
....
std::string myString;
std::getline(std::cin, myString);
....

#include <string>
...
std::string myString;
std::getline(std::cin, myString);

Thanks a lot!
