Char input gets cut off when there is whitespace

[Adam01]

Hi, Im using a server and and a client, and the client can send messages to the server, but the messages gets cut when theres a whitespace.

Say I typed:
Hello my name is adam.

The server will catch it as: Hello

I think this has to do with cin, or the char[] method.

heres the client message code:

 
char message[1000];
               for(;;){
 
                    std::cout << "Message: ";
                    std::cin >> message;
                    if(strstr(message,"\\exit")){send(mysoc, "\\Disconnect", 1000, 0); break;}
send(mysoc, message,1000, 0);
                }
 

Server catch code:

char buf[1000];
for(;;){
if((recv(clientsocket, buf, 1000, 0)) == -1)
{ message.write("!:Error recieving client message<br>\n"); break;}
else { message.write(buf);}
}

Can someone help me to get the client to send a full message.

When you do 'cin >> buf' the istream will be read until a white space character
is read from the stream. Use the streams' getline() method instead if you want
to read an entire line from the stream.

Thanks, what header, and class does it come under?

<iostream>. Check reference.

The same header file and class you're using already; just a different function.
Here's a nice online reference.

Maybe we should get rid of those old stickies and post just one new one that
mentions this (and other) useful links. Similar to what I did in the Java forum ...

There's an article in the how-tos with C/C++ links but I think some of them are a little outdated, and probably few people check there. So yes, I think that's a great idea, so long as it's updated now and then.
