Reading a string with white space in C

[pdasilva18]

I know this is kind of late, but I feel obligated to share this info. To get "white space" with the rest of your string until enter is pressed you could use the following code I got from here https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/getline/

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
string path;

cout << "Enter some text with white space: ";
getline(cin,path);
cout << "You entered: " << path << endl;
}

That's C++ instead of plain old 'C' but as the original poster didn't specify a version of the language maybe it is applicable in this case.
