Hi Fredrik
Thanks, tried that still doesn't work. It only occurs when
typing in more chars than string length? I thought getline only accepted the
delimiter size ignoring the \n key.But the extra chars must be staying in
the keyboard buffer.
Heres the code:

int main()
{
char first[10];
char second[10];

for(int i=1; i<3;i++)
{
cout << "enter first name ";
cin.getline(first,10);
cout << "\nenter second name ";
cin.getline(second,10);
}
