c++

im new to c++ and have a little problem with a project. I need to read the input from the user that follows the following format.. LETTER SPACE NUMBERS .. The only method we've learned so far is cin for reading user inputs, and cin will only read the letter since there is a space in the user input. I've googled a bit and found the function getline, but now I don't know how to read what letter they entered and the number separately... help.

You're incorrectly assuming people don't know Assembler and C. I actually learned x86 asm and C before I learned Common Lisp.
You use the language fit for the job.
Coding something which is clearly high level in a low-level language is waste of programmer effort, and will only make your software less reliable in the end.
