简单的cout然后cin允许空白示例？

Question

Looking for a simple getline example which works correctly.

I want to input something on the keyboard and assign it to a std::string, allowing for whitespace and tabs. The delimiter is the carriage return.

TIA, Bert

Answer 1

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>

int main() {
  std::string s;
  std::cout << "Enter a line: ";
  std::getline(std::cin, s);
  std::cout << "You typed this: " << s << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Example run:

$ ./a.out
Enter a line: foo bar
You typed this: foo bar

Answer 2

An important note: after you use std::cin:

cin >> myVar;

The trailing newline is NOT removed. You have to use getline twice

std::getline(std::cin, myString);
std::getline(std::cin, myString);

if you have previously extracted from cin, once for the newline, and once for the actual string. There are other ways to do this too.
