I got myself dev c++. i tried (and for the first time) using 'std::'
for everything like cin, cout, getline etc.
it doesnt work! this program gave me 7 errors!!!!!!!
(dont mind conio2.h, it's the extra conio that handles many old
functions)
#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio2.h>
int main()
{
std::string str;
getline(std::cin,str,'\r');
std::cout<<"hi...\n\n";
std::cout<<str;
getch();
}

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

In headers, you definitely want to use std:: and in source files, you
can do as follows:

#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
using std::string;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

string s_line(10, '-');
cout << s_line << endl;
}

thanks

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <conio2.h>
int main()
{
using std::string;
using std::cout;
string str;
getline(std::cin,str,'\r');
cout<<str;
getch();
}
i tried this.Its supposed to print the content of the string when i
press enter, right? it's not.

Yes, it should. Maybe for some reason you need to flush the buffer. Try:

cout << str << std::endl;
and see if you see the output then.
Of course you have to type things for it to display.

i type in a string and press enter... no reaction by computer (except
that the blinker goes to the next line). What's happening?

You may find that '\n' works better here.

Safer to add "<< std::endl" to ensure that the buffer is flushed.

Because you put the '\r' in there, either leave it out all together or
use '\n', unless you are reading/writing to a file in binary mode you'll
probably never have to use '\r'.

If you don't specify a terminating character at all, '\n' is the
default. So these are equivalent and you might consider the second one
simpler - it's certainly commonplace.

getline(std::cin,str,'\n');
getline(std::cin,str);

You're welcome!

Now, how about quoting what you're replying to next time, eh?
