Hi Tony. Try this after the last line in the iteration.
cin.ignore('\n', 100)

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);
}

Hi again Tony. Well, I tried too and it didn�t work like you said, so I
tried an other code. And well, when I tried it worked. So try this code
instead.

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
char first[10];
char second[10];

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

/Fredrik

Hi again
Ok thanks that worked but, the user needs to
press return twice to get rid of the cin.ignore chars
not really an effective solution still need to find out why the buffer isn't
flushed i think?
