Cout a String

[yongj]

I have a program where the cout "ing" a string misses the beginning letter of the string. I have made it so that there are 3 options to input/output the information. The "missing" letter in the string is ONLY evident in option 1; option 2 and option 3 does not have any issues. What am I doing wrong?

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Bible
{
public:
	//Constructors
	Bible();
	Bible(string nam, int chapt, int vers, string testa, string txt);

	//Mutators
	void setName(string nam);
	void setChapter(int chapt);
	void setVerse(int vers);
	void setTestament(string testa);
	void setText(string txt);
	void setSetup1(string nam, int chapt, int vers, string testa);
	void setInput();

	//Accessors
	string getName();
	int getChapter();
	int getVerse();
	string getTestament();
	string getText();

	//Output
	void write1();
	void write2();

private:
	string name, testament, text;
	int chapter, verse;
};

int main()
{
	Bible bib;
	int answer;
	string nam, testa, txt;
	int chapt, vers; 

	cout << "How would you like to enter in the information for the Bible verse? (1, 2, or 3): " << endl << setw(7) << "1) One by one" <<
		endl << setw(7) << "2) All at once" << endl << "3) Everything without the verse contents" << endl;
	cin >> answer;

	if(answer == 1)
	{
		cout << "\n1) One at a time" << endl;

			cout << "\n2) All at once" << endl;
			bib.setInput();

			cout << "\n\n";
		}
			else if(answer == 3)
			{
				cout << "\n3) Everything without the verse contents" << endl;

Here is my output for option 1:

How would you like to enter in the information for the Bible verse? (1, 2, or 3)
:
1) One by one
2) All at once
3) Everything without the verse contents
1

1) One at a time
Please enter the name of the book: John
Please enter the chapter of the book: 1
Please enter the verse of the chapter: 1
Please enter the testament of the book: New Testament
Please enter the contents of the verse: Test is the test is the test

John 1:1 New Testament
est is the test is the test

Press any key to continue . . .

I think one of the cin.ignores throws the first letter of "Test is the test is the test" away. Please try to reproduce the error with minimum amount of code so people can quickly find what's wrong.

That did it! Thank you :)
