reading formatted data files
is it possible to use the getline() function to skip a word and get the data after the word? I am wanting to make a program that reads from a formatted .txt file and then when done with the file, append the new data to the same formatted .txt file.
here is an example of the txt file...
Code:
EntryNumber: 1
EntryName: JOE SOMEBODY
EntryHPhone: 111-1111
EntryCPhone: 222-2222
EntryAdress: 1234 Somewhere St.
As you can see, i want the data to the right of the colon of each line. How would I read the file to where I could skip the Entry" " part of the line, and then use getline() to read the data?
