Spaces in strings - how?

-----------------------------------

I am making a program that may result in the user entering a string containing spaces, and I need the program to accept the entire input (including spaces and characters after a space) and store it in the variable.  Currently the program is carrying over words after a space into the next get.
Example (pseudocode and output):

get var1

(input: word1 word2)

get var2 - this ends up taking word2 as its value

print var1,var2

output: word1,word2


I know this example looks like crap, but basically, the program is carrying over the input.  How do I get it so that var1 is holding "word1 word2"?

Thank you!

I think you are missing some arguments there... http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/istream/get/
[code]
char str[256];
cin.get (str,256);
[/code]
Should work with spaces.
