stupid c++ question

[cliftonite]

Lets say a user enters in a bunch of characters like ab12ab12 and then hits enter. How do i check for the enter keystroke in a loop? I tried while ( cin.get() !='\n' ) but that is not doing it (it does not go on to the next operation.

The '\n' is a combination character intended for output. (Carriage Return & Line Feed)
It may not be the character returned when the Enter key is pressed.

What are you trying to do? If you're just trying to read a line of text from the user, there are easier ways than a loop that runs once for every key stroke.

If you just want to trap all chars up to the enter use cin.getline(). Or is this some kind of menu-driven keystroke loop?

Are you trying something similar to this?

Wouldn't getline accomplish the same thing in a more succinct fashion?
