string question

[Huub]

Hi,

I try to read a string command from commandline using cin.getline
(command, 14). This works fine, but somehow there's some input given
before the first command is typed in. I know this because there's already
response while it should be waiting for the first command. How can I make
sure this doesn't happen?

Thanks

Use ios::ignore() before the query for response.

Use ios::ignore() before the query for response.

Thank you. That works.
