I am trying to get a string with 8 characters long from the user. User have to enter the string continuously. Once the string reaches 8 characters, it has to go next line of the code.
I've already tried with Arrays, and loops. But, It requires the user to hit enter after getting each character.
string str;
int b;
std::cin>>str.length(8);
This can be done many different ways.
Try this
std::string str;
str.resize(8);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
std::cin >> str[i];
Or
std::string str;
str.resize(8);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
str[i] = std::cin.get();
Or
std::string str;
str.resize(8);
std::cin.read(&str[0], 8);
Or
char arr[9];
std::cin >> std::setw(9) >> arr;
std::string str(arr, 8);
This can be done in following way
char str[100], input;
int idx = 0;
while( scanf("%c", &input ) == 1 ) {
str[idx++] = input;
if( idx >= 8 ) break; // or your desire length of string
}
std::cin has get() methods for reading single chars, and read() methods for reading char arrays.
