Reading the space bar as a charcter in Dev-C++

May 1st, 2008

Hello to all, I need to know how to read the space bar as a character (or string) rather than as a separator, and I also need to know if the same can be done with the enter key. I am grateful for all contributions.

look up the various versions of getline(). There's one for C style strings and another for STL string objects.

Hope this helps..would be a good idea to post your assignment. The above is not the answer to your question...but you should be able to formulate your answer from the above info.
