Parsing the file for student information

[shide]

I have written the code so far but i am stuck with how to get the output , which i have pasted. Pleas can someone help me?
thanks!

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

struct Course
{
string coursename;
int lectures;
};

struct Student
{
string fname;
char minit;
string lname;
string id;
string username;
vector<Course>enrolled; 
};



int main(){
Student professor;
Course types;
ifstream inputFile;

inputFile.open("psuid.txt");

while(!inputFile){
cout << "File not opened!" << endl;
}

getline(inputFile, professor.fname);
getline(inputFile, professor.minit);
getline(inputFile, professor.lname);
getline(inputFile, professor.id);
getline(inputFile, professor.username);


cout << professor.fname << endl;
cout << professor.minit << endl;
cout << professor.lname << endl;
cout << professor.id << endl;
cout << professor.username << endl;
}

explain in plain english how you'll get the number of lectures from each line
(¿what do the codes mean?)

So I was thinking to read the title line for the lecture, then skip whitespace and use peek() to look at the first character of the next line. If it's a '-' then it's a lecture for the current course.

Im new to this struct and file parsing so needed help and guidance.

Is your input really such a sloppy mess? There is no consistency of formatting for each class entry as to scheduling. And your flagging of the schedules isn't the same with each entry.

It can be parsed out, but it won't be easy.
