I am trying to use this command, 'cin.getline', in a loop, but it does not work properly; in details, it works the first time the loop is executed; the subsequent times, it is just ignored; now, in all the books I am using ther's no mention of this strange behavior; nor there is anything in the tutorial that comes with the Visual C++ that I have. Could you please help me overcome this problem, and explain to me why is behaving like that, done the fact that in my books, and in the documentation ovf Visual C++ it says that this command does NOT carry any linefeed?
thanks so much for the attention.
I include an example of the code where I have met this problem; but is not the only one time...
// size1.cpp
//

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

int main()
{
    char arr[10][30];
    int a = 0;
    char ind;
    float cont = 0.0f;

    for(a; a < 10; a++)
    {
        cout << "\nenter a word: ";
        cin.getline(arr[a],30, '\n'); // quì non va; e non
        // è la prima volta!!!
        for(int i = 0; i <30; i++)
        {
            cout << arr[a][i];
            if(arr[a][i] == '\0')
            {
                break;
            }
        }
        //getchar();
        cout << "do you want to enter another one?";
        cout << "\n(Enter 0 to end, 1 to continue): ";
        cin >> ind ;
        if(ind == '0')
        {
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            cout << " " << endl;
        }
    }
    cont = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
    cout << cont;
        cout << endl;
    return 0;
}
