getline (char* s, streamsize n, char delim );

Question

I am c++ learne and what does delim do here?

Answer 1

Can you show the code?

Answer 2

Don't use it then if it works without it...

Answer 3

It's the char that you specify to be extracted from the line when found...

Answer 4

try using '\r' as delim if you want it to stop when enter is pressed.

Answer 5

//getline example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
char name[256], address[256];

cout << "Please, enter your name: ";
cin.getline (name,256);

cout << "Please, enter your Address: ";
cin.getline (address,256,'\t');
cout << name << "'s address is " << address;

return 0;
}

Answer 6

ok, but why its not stopping getting when i click Enter , i ask to enter until size is full

Answer 7

it doesnt terminate untill all 256 characters are inserted, but without '\t' it works well, it finishes when i click enter
