Why isn't this string if statement working?

[turtlesavage]

I could've sworn iv'e done this a million times

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
	std::cin >> reaction;

	if (reaction == "look at")
	{
		std::cout << "shackles\n";
		std::cout << "jail uniform\n";
		std::cout << "bench\n";
		std::cout << "cell door\n";
		std::cout << "jail bars\n";
		std::cout << "jail guard\n";
	}
}

Where is reaction declared?

[turtlesavage]

sorry

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string reaction = "none";

std::cin >> reaction;

if (reaction == "look at")
{
std::cout << "shackles\n";
std::cout << "jail uniform\n";
std::cout << "bench\n";
std::cout << "cell door\n";
std::cout << "jail bars\n";
std::cout << "jail guard\n";
}
}

The >> operator only reads one word. If you want to read the whole line you could use std::getline.
