String not turning blue and only reading up to space - c++

Question

Here's my actual code, it's skipping the getline(cin,phrase) completely..
maybe there's something else wrong with it, but I can't really find anything wrong.
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
ofstream outFile;
string file_name;
string phrase;
int number;
cout << "What file would you like to write into? ";
cin >> file_name;
outFile.open(file_name);
if(!outFile)
{
cout << "Error, could not find file. Press enter to self destruct. " << endl;
return -1;
}
cout << "What would you like to write? ";
getline (cin, phrase);
cout << "How many times? ";
cin >> number;
while(number != 0)
{
outFile << phrase;
number = number - 1;
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}

Answer 1

cin would read as far as whitespace is not there in your input string. To get around that you can use
getline( cin, cookie ).
OR
char input[100];
cin.getline(input,100);
EDITED AS TO CLARIFY:-
Show me the output for this :-
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string cookie;
getline ( cin, cookie );
cout << cookie;
system("pause");
return 0;
}

Answer 2

The >> operators read formatted input in term of "space separated items", so
aaaaa bbbb 123
are actually three distinct elements. The first two can be string, the third can be a string or whatever numeric scalar type.
If you want to consider spaces as part of the read, the proper function shold be getline
