Converting string to ASCII - c++

Question

I was just trying something out and made the following code. It is supposed to take each individual letter in a string and print its ASCII equivalent. However, when there is a space, it stops converting. Here is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void convertToASCII(string letter)
{
for (int i = 0; i < letter.length(); i++)
{
char x = letter.at(i);
cout << int(x) << endl;
}
}
int main()
{
string plainText;
cout << "Enter text to convert to ASCII: ";
cin >> plainText;
convertToASCII(plainText);
return 0;
}
Any ideas on why this happens?

Answer 1

cin >> plainText reads from the input up to, but excluding, the first whitespace character. You probably want std::getline(cin, plainText) instead.

std::getline
istream& operator>> (istream& is, string& str)

Answer 2

The formatted input function operator>> on istream stops extraction from the stream if it hits a space. So your string doesn't contain the rest of the input.
If you wish to read until the end of the line, use getline instead:
string plainText;
cout << "Enter text to convert to ASCII: ";
getline(cin, plainText);
convertToASCII(plainText);

Answer 3

Just Use getline and then no need such things you can just typecast to int a string letter to directly convert it to ascii.Here Is My Code.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void convertToASCII(string s)
{
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)
{
cout << (int)s[i]<< endl;
}
}
int main()
{
string plainText;
cout << "Enter text to convert to ASCII: ";
getline(cin,plainText);
convertToASCII(plainText);
return 0;
}

Here is something I put together. I used a vector to store all of the ASCII values that are to be generated. We first ask the user for a string. Then we use type casting and add the values to a vector. We also use a while loop to prevent the user from not entering nothing.
# include <iostream>
# include <string>
# include <vector>
std::vector<int> converttoASCII (std::string s) //used a vector to store all our ASCII values
{
std::vector <int> vals; //vectpr creation
int ascChar;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) //We interate through string passed and add to vectors
{
ascChar = s[i];
vals.push_back(ascChar);
}
return vals;
}
int main()
{
std::string toencode;
std::cout << "Please enter in a string to encode: ";
std::getline(std::cin, toencode);
while (toencode.length() == 0) //we used a for loop to prevent user from entering nothing.
{
std::cin.clear();
std::cout << "Must not be empty! Try Again.\n";
std::cout << "Please enter in a string to encode: ";
std::getline(std::cin, toencode);
}
std::vector <int> asciivals = converttoASCII(toencode);
for (int i : asciivals) //Print out the results of the vector
{
std::cout << i << "\n";
}
return 0;
}

Answer 5

Simple and easy code
string mystring= "ABC DEF ++ -- ";
for (char c : mystring) cout << (int)c << endl;
This code will check characters one by one and output equivalent ascii value
Output: 65
66
67
32
68
69
70
32
43
43
32
45
45
32

Answer 6

cin.ignore();
cin.getline(plaintext,100); // 100 (assumed) is the size of plaintext
Use these two lines of code to accept a string with blank spaces.
