Ignore Spaces Using getline in C++ [duplicate]

Answer 1

You have to add cin.ignore() right after options is chosen:

//get the input from the user
cin >> option;
cin.ignore();

And cin.ignore() is not necessary after your getline:

    getline(cin, task); // THIS IS WHERE THE ISSUE COMES IN
        //cin.ignore();

The problem is in options - if you didn't call cin.ignore() after it, options will contain end of line and loop will continue...

I hope this helps.
