Use strcat(), it is described at http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/c...string/strcat/

I apologise profusely, but i am a newby at programming.

Does that also allow the user to input values with spaces in them? The example given is only a string that has been given a value by the program.

And if so, how?

The function i talked about is only used to work with strings that you already have, so if you need to mannualy add the space or other content to the given string you can use that function
If i'm not mistaken the user can introduce the string with space without any need to use other functions.

You don't need to use strcat()... Please don't suggest using the C string library to manipulate C++ strings.

AD already addressed your question. You should be using getline() to get user input:
Hope this helps.

You could have saved yourself a lot of time had you bothered to read the post I made over 10 hours ago
