C++ could use an STL-algorithm implemented solution, ala: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1567082/how-do-i-iterate-over-cin-line-by-line-in-c/1567703#1567703

Could someone show the NetRexx Solution? Thanks in advance!

YOY can't I get used to entering the summary
Could a prompt be implemented when one saves without summary?

Some constraints?

I'd like to see some constraints on this task. This task is a potential example of the classic "buffer overflow" problem, and neglecting to even mention that issue in this context seems irresponsible. Perhaps we could impose some reasonable line length limit? (Would a megabyte be a reasonable line length limit?) --Rdm (talk) 23:06, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Only potentially. This task is mature and too late to change. You could however try and write a new buffer overflow task, but we try and make tasks accessible to a wide range of languages and in some, the size of a string buffer may be naturally memory limited rather than limited by some smaller constant that the programmer is steered towards using by their normal language idioms.

You would have to word it right. --Paddy3118 (talk) 00:02, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
