Need if statement help with a string variable

[Jagman]

I am trying to make a program that asks for an answer that is a string, however I cannot make it recognize the correct answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advanced!

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

string answer;

cout << "Stomy = ";
cin >> answer;

if (answer == "new opening")
{
cout << "Correct!";
}
else if (answer != "new opening")
{
cout << "Incorrect :(" << endl;
}

system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

if you use cin to input a string, it stops when it finds whitespace so you'll need to use getline, like so:

string str;
getline(cin, str);
