Text file format junk in getline

So, I'm building an assembler for a class. While I have a list of issues, one of the main problems I'm having is that I get format info in the getine. This is screwing me up because it doesn't find the first line and goes to the second line. How do I not read all the junk?
(This is only the function that handles the assembly)

The Intermediate file looks like this (the first few lines)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST	STL	RETADR			SAVE RETURN ADDRESS\
RETADR
0
RETADR

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLOOP	JSUB	RDREC			READ INPUT RECORD\
RDREC
0
RDREC




But the terminal looks like this. The first line is supposed to the the COPY START 1000.

¿why is there such junk?
I'm not sure, I know that its the format of the file but idk why it comes up.
