cin.getline help

[skipperben]

I’ve declared:
char charInput[9]
int intMonth, intDay, intYear
The user will input 3 integers (month day year: 7 10 81)
To Capture the input from the buffer, I have:
cin.getline(charInput, 9)
My question is, can the three integers entered be assigned to the corresponding variable names?

Thanks.

it depends on a crucial fatcor: does the string have blanks that separate between the numbers? If so, you can read from the string a word (a token) using the overloaded >> operator and teh stringstream objects. I think that it would be simpler for you to read the values as three strings, though.

Danny, thanks for your response. I will go with the advise of three strings.
