Big string

[naskopw]

Well, I need a string that holds about 10000 characters, but cin get stuck somewhere around 4000-5000. I tried using a string, and an array of chars.

What do you mean by "get stuck"? std::string is able to hold much bigger strings than 10000 characters.

[naskopw]

well I just can't cin more chars. I think it's because of cin.

[Peter87]

How do you read from std::cin? How do you add the characters to the string?

[naskopw]

string a;
cin>>a;

[Peter87]

cin>>a;
What this does is that it skips any white space characters until it finds a non-white space character and appends all characters to a until it finds a white space character or EOF. So my guess is that it finds a white space character after about 4000-5000 characters, and that's why a doesn't get any bigger than that.

I'm not going to sign up on that site only to view your input.

you can log in with google account or yahoo

[Peter87]

Are you seriously suggesting I should give away the log in details of my google account to a site I have never seen before? I'm not that stupid.

EDIT: I see now that the log in method is probably safe but I don't want to give away my email address.

Anyway my input doesn't have any spaces. Any other suggestions?

[naskopw]

I have just tried using a char and appending it to a string and it doesn't work either.

[Peter87]

Space is not the only white space character.
