cin problem with strings
 
Hey guys, when I type my code to getline(cin,name); it skips this line of the code

Code:
  string name;
              cout << "Please Key in your full name: " << endl;
              getline(cin, name);
              cout << endl;
              cout <<"Hello ";
The display on the console skips the part where I input the name. And yes, I have used the header file string

Works fine for me in Visual Studio 2008; made a small change to confirm name contains the expected value:
Code:
        string name;
        cout << "Please Key in your full name: " << endl;
        getline(cin, name);
        cout << endl;
        cout <<"Hello "<<name<<endl;
Output:
Please Key in your full name:
Fred

Hello Fred

Thanks for the help :D. But I have the code cout << name << endl; below that line. Not sure why it did not work. But I fixed it by asking the user to type in his first and last name seperately ;)
