Bibliography Maker

I was making this program so I can enter in the information and it makes my bibliography, but for some reason, when it gets to the part where it gets the title from the user, it just skips the last get line. Try it.

Turing:

setscreen ("graphics")
var num_of_entries : int
put "How many books would you like to register in the database?"
get num_of_entries
var title, author, publisher, datepublished, placepublished : array 1 .. num_of_entries of string
for i : 1 .. num_of_entries
    put "What is the title of the book ", i, "?"
    get title (i)
end for
put "Great!"
Input.Pause

for i : 1 .. num_of_entries
    put "Who is the author(s) of ", title (i), "?"
    get author (i)
end for
put "Great!"
Input.Pause

for i : 1 .. num_of_entries
    put "What is the publisher of ", title (i), "?"
    get publisher (i)
end for
put "Great!"
Input.Pause

for i : 1 .. num_of_entries
    put "What is the date published of ", title (i), "?"
    get datepublished (i)
end for
put "Great!"
Input.Pause

for i : 1 .. num_of_entries
    put "What is the place published for ", title (i), "?"
    get placepublished (i)
end for
put "Great!"

var stream : int
open : stream, "Bibliography.txt", put
for i : 1 .. num_of_entries
    put : stream, "Bibliography"
    put : stream, "Author, Title, Place Published, Publisher, Date Published"
    put : stream, ""
    put : stream, author (i), ". ", title (i), ". ", placepublished (i), ": ", publisher (i), ", ", datepublished (i)
    put : stream, ""
end for
close : stream

put "Your file has been saved as 'Bibliography.txt'."


I've tried to play around with it adding different things but nothing changes it.

I think your problem might be in the way you get your data. Try using
code:

get var :*

for getting the variables. This just allows for a whole line of text to be entered.
