This mailing list is for discussion of the Common Language Infrastructure (also known as the .NET framework) in Debian. But since you're here already, here's an answer. The offending code is: cout<<"Sueldo: "; cin>>emp[i].sueldo; cout<<endl; followed by gets(emp[i].nombre); When you key in the input for that field, e.g. 1.0, what you have keyed in is "1.0\n". However, cin >> emp[i].sueldo; only reads in "1.0", leaving "\n" in the input buffer. gets() reads until the next \n, which results in an empty string. There are two solutions to this: 1. Ignore the rest of the line: std::cin.ignore (std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n'); 2. Read it line by line: std::string buf; getline (std::cin, buf); std::istringstream(buf) >> emp[i].sueldo; Also, Using gets() is dangerous as you'll get a buffer overflow if your user keys in input that exceeds the length you've specified in your code. Since you're using C++, you should use std::string and std::getline for reading in whole lines, which is much safer. > Note: if you don't understand spanish don't worry just input any string > eventually you'll see the problem > [...] Note: If I wasn't feeling particularly patient, I would just ignore your question after seeing this. You might like to explain your question in full the next time you ask a question (and preferably in the correct place). -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
