Este es un problema muy extraño, cuando mi programa le pide al usuario la dirección, en lugar de esperar la entrada, parece omitir la función getline () por completo

Answerinput:

cout << "would you like to add another entry to the archive? (Y/N):";

        cin >> stringentry;
        cout << endl;

        stringlength = stringentry.length();

        strcpy(Record[Entrynumber].Last_Name, stringentry.c_str());
