Reading Multiple Line String Input in C++

To read multiple lines of text input in C++, we can use the getline() function with a loop and a condition that states when you want to stop taking the input. While looping keep storing each line in a vector of string that can be used for processing later on.

C++ Program to Read Multiple Lines of Input

The below example shows how to read muti-line string input in C++.

C++

// C++ Program to Read Multiple Lines of Input
  
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
  
int main()
{
    // Declare variables
    string str;
    vector<string> s;
  
    // Prompt user to enter multiple lines of text
    cout << "Enter multiple lines of text: " << endl;
  
    // Read input lines until an empty line is encountered
    while (getline(cin, str)) {
        if (str.empty()) {
            break;
        }
        s.push_back(str);
    }
  
    // Display the entered lines
    cout << "You entered the following lines: " << endl;
    for (string& it : s) {
        cout << it << endl;
    }
  
    return 0;
}
