   vc++ string question (for console mode only)
  Has anyone ever compiled a program requiring user input via strings?  I''ve noticed that every time I prompt user ex. cin >> stringVariable; it always makes the user press enter twice.  But when I compile it in a different compiler--this doesn''t happen.  What is the cause of this and what is the fix(if any)?ThanksHovig 
  Which compiler are you using? (edit: I mean which compiler version.) There are known bugs with some compilers and standard library implementations. The specific fix depends on the particular compiler you're using.   [edited by - SiCrane on February 13, 2004 3:35:03 PM];  You may want to try a stdlib function instead of cin/cout, such as gets (i think that''s what it is called).  I''ve noticed that some compilers don''t support cin/cout very well, so I never use them.  They are slow anyway, in my experience. ;  I''m using vc++ 6.0 standard ed.  Everything works fine other than the strings.  I guess I will have to look up that fix another time.  Thx for the info ;  For MSVC 6, you should do two things: first grab the service packs from the microsoft webpage and then go to this page and follow the instructions there.
