Get empty input

[chuvak]

Say I have,

using std::string;

string temp_id;
string temp_name;
std::cout << "ID\n> ";
std::cin >> temp_id;
std::cout << "Name\n> ";
std::cin >> temp_name;

If user simply taps ENTER for either value, how can I store that as an empty string? I keep tapping enter, and it keeps expecting characters.

Sounds like you want to use std::getline.
