Hi, I find there is a slight inconvenience with the std::getline function in C++. Here is an example: ----------------------------------------------------------- #include using std::cin; using std::cout; using std::endl; using std::getline; #include using std::string; int main() { string strTemp; cout << "Enter a sentence: "; getline(cin, strTemp); cout << "\nYou entered: " << strTemp << endl; return 0; } ----------------------------------------------------- If you run the code above, and hopefully I did not leave anything out, out will find that after you entered a sentence and press Enter, the "cursor" will go to the next line, but the program does not move onto "You have entered: " until you press Enter the second time. In other words, I have had problems with the getline function in term of having to press Enter twice to get it to move onto the next algorithm. I have tried for example: getline(cin, strTemp, ''\n''); It has the same effect. Is there a way to get around having to press Enter twice? Thanks, Kuphryn

It is a known bug in the STL implementation that ships with MSVC. You can find the fixes here.

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!

Do they not read my signature? First link on the left

Nice!

zen posted the same message at cprogramming with a link to Microsoft''s website.

Thanks,
