How to endl if a string reaches a "space"

poppyjones · #1 03-May-2007, 12:55

hey, this is a really dumb question, but i cant figure this out, lol
How do i endl if a user enters a string with a space in it.

example:

user enters: Jack Mc Jones
output:
Jack
Mc
Jones

here is what i have so far:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#define MAX_SIZE 256

void main()

{

	char name[MAX_SIZE];
	
	cout << "Enter your Full Name: ";
	cin.get(name, MAX_SIZE);


}

Try this

Declare three strings and CIN them
in this case u can COUT them any way you want!

btw : if the strings are separated by commas each string will be CINned separately

yes, but the problem is I dont know how much input the user is going the enter. for example:

Dell Computers Freakin Rock

output:

Dell
Computers
Freakin
Rock

see what i mean. The input could change all the time.

Here is your code

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <cstring>
#define MAX_SIZE 256

void main()           //special thanks to sherif

{
	//input:
	char name[MAX_SIZE];
	cout << "Enter your Full Name: ";
	cin.get(name, MAX_SIZE);
	//output:
	int M=strlen(name);
	for (int i=0;i<M;i++)
	{
		if (name[i]!=' ')
			cout <<name[i];
		else cout <<endl;
	}
}

Off-topic:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

void main() //special thanks to sherif

Whoever sherif is, he's wrong. main() always return an integer. You declare it like

CPP / C++ / C Code:

int main()

and make sure to return something (0 is customary for success, 1 for error).

And when you get to better and more advanced compilers and you can't figure out why your programs no longer work because you've learned to write bad code, you'll wish you listened to the good citizens.

IOW, there's no excuse for bad code unless all you want to be is a bad programmer.
