Reading in the input as a string

You could use getline found in <sstream>.

Use it like this

string phrase;
getline(cin,phrase);

ive tried that but i just messes my program up. It skips over another point where you're supposed to enter something

[Vermacian55]

It does? Might just be something in your code. Could you show it?

Highly likely you've used cin>> before it, which if you pressed enter would leave a newline character in the buffer. getline() reads that as an empty line. But to be sure, we'd need to see the code as Vermacian55 asked.
