multiple word error

[Giovanni Noppe]

Hello,

I'm writing a program, but I've got a question. I wrote a simple program
that explains my problem. First you must give in an integer and next you
must give a string containing multiple words. If I put an integer in my
variable that is okay, but I have to hit enter twice instead of once for my
string. Is there someone who knows how I can solve this problem ?

Thanks,

Giovanni Noppe,

Get a better version of the standard library. See www.stlport.org

Any chance you are using VC++ 6.0?
This (or a very similar) behaviour is a documented bug with that compiler.
