Okay, thanks for the advices... And here returns the first problem... the getline-command screws up my input-order somehow... (The reason I use global variablesm is that the user only uses the main function in a very little timeperiod, as the main function calls upon another function)... But my problem with the getline command is, that if I create a program with only that piece of code, as you've suggested, the console application needs the user to push enter twice, before accepting the input, which I find extremely annoying, and I am sure that some of the players who will (hopefully

) play my game will be confused by this... So is there any chance you have a tip on how to eliminate this error?
