extracting parameters

I'm new to C++ and would like some help on how I can extract more than one parameter from a string. I have an example of a function that will receive the string. The string contains two parameters and I don't know how to pull off the second parameter. Thanks in Advance.

Code:

void Message_Received(std::istream& args)
{
    unsigned msg;

    // Pull off  the first param in the string
    args >> msg;

   // Pull off the second param in the string
   ????
}

If it's another unsigned value, for instance, you simply repeat the extraction from the stream like you did for the first parameter:

Code:

void Message_Received(std::istream& args)
{
    unsigned msg, msg2;

    // Pull off  the first param in the stream
    args >> msg;

    // Pull off the second param in the stream
    args >> msg2;

    ...

}

Or you could just put everything on one line:

Code:

void Message_Received(std::istream& args)
{
    unsigned msg, msg2;

    // Pull off the params from the stream
    args >> msg >> msg2;

    ...

}

[edit]Be careful you don't confuse yourself over strings vs streams, they are different things and what you are talking about here are the latter.[/edit]

Thanks so much for your help and clarification on strings vs streams. I was able to implement what you said and it works!
