i'm having trouble getting the string input to accept spaces inbetween, i.e. title should be "moby ****" etc.. etc.. i've tried cin.ignore(256,'\'), it works until it asks for auth 3 and 4, and publisher and after asking fot all the strings it just keeps looping infinately

main.cpp
#include "booktype.cpp"


int main()
{
string t,p,aOne,aTwo,aThree,aFour,I;
float pr;
int cpy;
bookType x[100];

for(int j=0;j<99;j++)
{
x[j].setbookTITLE(t);
x[j].setPUBLISHER(p);
x[j].setAUTHORS(aOne,aTwo,aThree,aFour);
x[j].setISBN(I);
x[j].setPRICE(pr);
x[j].setCOPIES(cpy);
x[j].print();
}



return 0;
}
any advice?

I haven't run your source code (yet), but can offer a quick hint which may help you. Instead of using the stream operator use
cin.getline(char *buffer, int length)
to get a whole line of text (including spaces) until an enter is given. It's a little bit more of a C then C++ style function but you can wrap it up in a string class object easily.
Hope this helps.

ok .. i made variables

char hold[30];
cin.getline(hold, 30);

only two problems with this, for empty fields, constructor default values aren't assigned strings and after the first time around

x[j].title input is skipped and it goes straight to publisher input, any suggestions?

privatedatamember = stringvariable;
