I need to modify the std::cin delim char from the default ' ' and '\n'
characters to ',' i know that i can edit the delim in the getline

There are a couple of possibilities. The delimiters are defined by the
locale, so you can define a new locale with the delimiters of your
choice.

You can also create a filtering streambuf to transform the input into a
format that's easier to deal with (e.g. take the commas in the original
input and replace them with spaces so the rest of the code only sees the
spaces that the iostream expects to use as delimiters.

Hello, when I was writing a user-driven test program for a data structure I wrote, I encountered an annoying problem. The test program is laid out as a menu with several numbered options. The user selects one option by typing in its corresponding number (int). Depending on the choice he made, he may be asked to provide another integer (or no input at all). So all the user does is entering integers. I don't want the user to be able to cause...

Let's say I have this: std::string s1; std::cin >> s1; This will read s1 from cin until it finds a space (or a newline, whichever comes first). Okay this works. But when I want to continue reading it reads what's left over in the cin, and well that's logical.

In C++ FAQ (15.5), I see this code: int i = 0; while (std::cin >x) { // RIGHT! (reliable) ++i; // Work with x ... } but I don't know how can while loop end? ostream &operator >>(...) return ostream &. how can that ever end the while loop? Is it because there is hidden operator to cast to int? I cannot figure out, please help?

Good day, I'm experimenting with unbuffered input at the moment. To get input I basically use cin.get(). My problem are control sequences preceeded by an ESC character (i.e. up, down, f-keys et cetera). They basically look like this: <ESC><EXCODE><CODE>, where EXCODE is a number describing the type of key pressed and CODE is the actual key. I want to be able to decide whether ESC or such a control key was pressed. Now if I do it like...
