some error in a program

[candexis]

Hi!!!!!!!, I want to read two strings that the user must enter, and i am doing it this way:

cout << "Please enter the text that you want to Encrypt (128 bits legth)" << endl;
getline (cin, a);

length1 = a.size();

cout << "Please enter the key to Encrypt the text (128 bits legth and Hex format)" << endl;
getline (cin, b);
length2 = b.size();

and I have a problem, because I don't why this program does not read the second one, could you please tell me how can I read the two strings (the problem is that the instruction getline (cin, b);, does not execute). Thank you

Often times the cout buffer is not flushed completly. Try adding a "cout.flush()" after each cout statement.

 
cout << "Please enter the ..." << endl;
cout.flush();
getline(cin, some_variable);
