Question

I am new to C++ and am trying to make a program to allow whoever is running the program to write to a list, and when they are done typing “exit” and it will display the list. I am lost on how to achieve this, could anyone help?

Here is what I have :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string uid;
    write(1,"\E[H\E[2J",7);
    cout << "Enter UID: ";
    cin >> uid;
    cout << "DB: \n\n" << uid << " \n\n""end\n\n";
    return 0;
}

How I could I put that in a loop such that they each could keep writing to the list until they type “exit”?

Since this question doesn’t show much effort, I’ll give a complicated answer you have no chance of understanding…

std::vector<std::string> list;
for(std::string i; std::cin >> i && i != "exit"; list.push_back(i));
std::copy(list.begin(), list.end(), std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, "\n"));

.. But is possibly the smallest way to do it (I’m sure someone will make a smaller one now that I said that)
