I have been programming for a while, but don't have much cause to use input from a user. I am an EE working in controls and program microcontrollers in C++. This is the first time I have needed to gather information from the user. I have reloaded my Borland 5.02 c++ on my machine to help me relearn all the io commands/routines/syntax. I need to be able to take a string of text, including spaces, and store it for future use as setting/parameters for my microcontroller. (I have tried to get my client to go a different rout for this, but no good).
I have searched the help files and the internet for a getline function, and while the net suggests that there is one, my compiler says it does not recognize the function. I included every library I could think of to see if it was in there somewhere, but still nothing. I ask for your help with this. I am a good programmer and know that I can simply store the text as a string of single characters, but I would prefer not to have to loop that way as it takes ram and clock cycles from the microcontroller. Can anyone help me out?
