std::cin stops reading at space. Alternatives?
Author
Recently, it came to my attention that std::cin does not read input past a space. What alternative is there?
[google] getline
okay, maybe a little easier:
getline, googled
okay maybe a little easier:
first webpage that comes up when googling getline
okay maybe a little easier:
What's that? you wanted one that uses std::string?
[google]getline std::string

It's not that cin doesn't read whitespaces, it's that the >> operators are designed to not read whitespaces. Do as C_Junkie said.
[google] getline
