Thank's to chen gang but actually that is what i mean may be i am too sleepy 
to code cin.getline in my first email.

i wonder why that function just succesfully in first usage but always fail 
in second usage for example :


#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
char input[50];
clrscr();
cout<<"What is your name ";
cin.getline(input,sizeof(input));
cout<<"your name : "
     <<input<<endl;
cout<<"what is your address : ";
cin.getline(input,sizeof(input));
cout<<"your address : "
    <<input<<endl;
getch();
return (0);
}

the result :
what is your name : (ask input succesfully done);
but in second usage
what is your address : your address:
(fail to ask input and it directly continue to write your address)

if my compiler was error ??????

does anybody help ????
