I Suck

I'm taking an intro C++ class, the only thing I have experience with is Java (only thing offered and my self-teaching has been with irrelevant things such as lisp) and have a quick question.

I'm trying to break the lines of a text file into separate strings to be input into a struct, using a colon as the token. I have no idea how to go about this in C++ though, can someone shed some light here?

I don't need nor want for someone to write my program for me, I'm just not sure how to segregate the lines into distinct strings.

Yes, you would have to do that, but that shouldn't be very long and it would be unnoticable (unless that's the main function of your program and it does it all the time on huge amounts of data, in which case go write your own version of that function).
