Wenn ich es so mache geht es:

cout << "name: ";
                 cin.getline (name,256);
                 cin.getline (name,256);

Wieso muss ich 2 mal getline da hinschreiben o_O ?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
 {
  char name[256], title[256];

  int ein;

 cout<<"eingabe: ";
 cin>>ein;

                if (ein==1)
                {
                 cout << "name: ";
                 cin.getline (name,256);

                 cout << "file: ";
                 cin.getline (title,256);

                cout << "name:" <<name <<endl;
                cout << "file "<< title<<endl;
                }

cin.get();
}
