bdflush is a Linux thing, not a C thing. &nbsp;If your program is to run under Linux, you can use bdflush in C++ as well as in C. &nbsp;But since it has to do with flushing buffers to disk, I don't think it would help you with a cin input stream.

Thanks, it is now accepting the input using cin.ignore. BUT my Customer Search runs into a problem now.<br />
<br />
When I enter a customer number, it will find it, display the Customer No. but then the ERROR below pops up:<br />
<br />
An Access Violation (Segmentation Fault) Raised in your program

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i have function as follows:<br />
<br />
void func()<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;char &nbsp; a;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; .........<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cout &lt;&lt;&nbsp;&quot;Enter: &quot;;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cin &gt;&gt;&nbsp;a;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;.........<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
&nbsp;However, on the next iteration of cin &gt;&gt;&nbsp;a, a would have the value of '\n'<br />
which was entered in the first place. Someone told me to flush the io stream on each iteration. How ?<br />

Flush IO Stream

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
