#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string words, dummy;
    int borb;

    cout << "Enter Input: ";
    getline(cin, words);
    cin >> borb;

    cout << words << endl;

    return 0;
}

When I add the cin after the getline, it gives be problems, i have to type in more stuff and hit enter again before it ontinues on, any ideas?

Try the following:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    const int str_len = 80;
    char words[str_len];
    //int borb;

    cout << "Enter Input: ";
    cin.getline(words, str_len, '\n');
    //cin >> borb;

    cout << words << endl;

    return 0;
}

I've commented out the "cin >> borb;" statement as that was your problem - it's requesting another value. The getline() function has already completed all the input but the program is waiting for the next cin statement to be satisfied.
