Variables
closed account (SEbXoG1T)
I need a variable type that can store spaces, numbers and letters. any help would be good.
std::string? I'd suggest you to follow tutorials, that is really basic stuff you shouldn't bother people with.
Of course it does. Spaces, tabs and stuff like that are all just characters, a string frankly doesn't care about spaces. The problem is probably rather with your input - I'll take a guess and say you use something like
cin>>my_string?

yeah...
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main () {
string data;
ofstream myfile;
myfile.open ("example.txt");
cout<<"enter: ";
cin>>data
myfile <<data
myfile.close();
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main () {
string data;
ofstream myfile;
myfile.open ("example.txt");
cout<<"enter: ";
cin>>data
myfile <<data
myfile.close();
return 0;
}

cin>> stops at tabs and spaces and the like. Use
getline(cin,my_string) if you want to read an entire line.
