Is there a way to input a string from the keyboard from a window, for example; "hello", like 'cin' in the standard library?

You can use the sf::TextEntered event.

Thanks! Is there a way to directly assign a varible through keyboard input?

Like:

int number;
cin >> number;

No, the TextEntered event will only give you the characters that are typed (one by one), then it's up to you to store/convert them.
