I have googled for the last hour and havent found anyhting worth not(most likely because Iam not searching the right terms). Anyway getling(cin, s) is the only way I know of to get a multiple word string pulled together and that will output as it went in. But the problem is you have to hit the enter key twice in order for the program to move on. is there a better way of going about getting a sentence or string of words in one input or is there some kind of function I can use to make it so the person dosent have to hit enter twice? here is the little sample program i have been working with to try and figure this out. #include #include int main() { std::string test, test1; std::cout << "Enter something: "; std::getling(std::cin, test); std::cin.ignore(100, '\n'); // with or without this i have to hit enter twice // this just makes it possible to display another string.. std::cout << test << std::endl; std::cout << "Enter again: "; std::getling(std::cin, test1); std::cout << test1 << std::endl; return 0; } I know this probably isnt the best code for many reasons but Iam just trying to figure out how to make it possible to enter a multi word string. any help would be great as Iam finnally stuck and cant get any furthur on my own.

So what compiler would you recommend to go with standard C++???

I just recently got back into C++ been a few years since I have done anyhting with C++ due to RL issues. I bought the book "C++ from the ground up" and it is using features I have never used before or seen and says these are now standard C++ features. So i googled and found that Visual Studio C++ does not work well at all with this new(to me atleast) standard. I was wondering if there is a update to Visual C++ to make it compliant with the standard C++ as that is what I want to learn. Oh I almost forgot I have version 6.0. All i have found is that it is all fixed in .net. Just trying to find out if there is a update to make it compliant with standard C++ features.

Hello. Iam intrested in learning network programming in both windows and unix. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on places to look, books to buy, or other things that may not be on this site. If so that would be great thank you for your time.
