Ignoring characters within a string

[TOGS]

I have a string in this format:"sonic",2019,"PG-13","Action",113,0
within a textfile,

i've been able to use a stringstream to parse each individual value to it's own attribute e.g int and strings.

where there is a comma within the name of the text file.
My code uses a ',' delimiter and once it gets to string such as that, it brings up an error. I also can't edit the text file.
I just want to ignore the , within the movieName string.
I thought of an IF statement but unsure on how to go about it

My code so far is this:

vector<string> movieArray;
        string filename = "films.txt";
        string line;
        string tempName;
        string tempYear;
        string tempAgeRating;
        string tempGenre;
        string tempRuntime;
        string tempRating;
        Movie movie;

        ifstream movieList(filename);
        if (movieList.is_open()) {

            cout << "reading file: " << filename << "\n";
            if (!movieList) {
                cout << "File not found, check filePath" << "\n"; //error checking
            }
            while (getline(movieList, line)) {
                if(movieList.peek() == ',')
                stringstream ss(line);
                getline(ss, tempName, ',');
                movie.movieName = tempName;
                getline(ss, tempYear, ',');
                movie.yearReleased = stoi(tempYear);
                getline(ss, tempAgeRating, ',');
                movie.ageRating = tempAgeRating;
                getline(ss, tempGenre, ',');
                movie.genre = tempGenre;
                getline(ss, tempRuntime, ',');
                movie.runTime = stoi(tempRuntime);
                getline(ss, tempRating);
                movie.avgRating = stoi(tempRating);

                ss << movie.movieName
                   << movie.yearReleased
                   << movie.ageRating
                   << movie.genre
                   << movie.runTime
                   << movie.avgRating;

                cout << movie.yearReleased << endl; //print just the years


            }
        }


    }

Use code tags when posting code: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/16853/

Use the double-quote as a delim instead.
You probably don't really want the double-quotes in your strings anyway.

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>

// Test data
std::istringstream in(
R"("Memento",2000,"R","Mystery/Thriller",113,0
"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly",1966,"APPROVED","Western",161,0
)");

int main()
{
    std::string title, rating, genre;
    int year, runTime, avgScore;
    char ch;

    while (in >> ch)  // read initial double-quote
    {
        getline(in, title, '"');
        in >> ch;  // comma
        in >> year;
        in >> ch >> ch;  // comma and dquote
        getline(in, rating, '"');
        in >> ch >> ch;  // comma and dquote
        getline(in, genre, '"');
        in >> ch;  // comma
        in >> runTime;
        in >> ch;  // comma
        in >> avgScore;

        std::cout << title    << '\n'
                  << rating   << '\n'
                  << genre    << '\n'
                  << year     << '\n'
                  << runTime  << '\n'
                  << avgScore << "\n\n";
    }
}

This is of course assuming that those strings will always be in double quotes and that they will never have a double quote inside the double quotes (even if "escaped").

The thing is, I'm trying to make sure it prints out in the exact same format as text file so I also need the double quotes. My code gives the following output then stops:
1989
1940
1984
1942
which is in line with the text file.
but if i use

ostringstream oss;
                oss << movie.movieName << ","
                   << movie.yearReleased << ","
                   << movie.ageRating << ","
                   << movie.genre << ","
                   << movie.runTime << ","
                   << movie.avgRating;
cout << oss.str() << endl;

Then an error because of a "," within the movie name

Then simply put the quotes back when you print those strings.

        std::cout << '"'
                  << title    << "\","
                  << year     << ",\""
                  << rating   << "\",\""
                  << genre    << "\","
                  << runTime  << ','
                  << avgScore << '\n';

Maybe std::quoted might be of help to manage std::stringstream input/output having quotes.
