Scanning for input in a char array and popping out

jingoria (3)
Hello everyone,
I have a program written where a user inputs several type of OS processes with time required to run.
For instance the input would be some thing like this:

New 10 //New process starts @ 10sec
CPu 12
Write 18

New 15 //Another process starts @ 15sec

My question is when a user inputs a process, if it is a New process, how can I use scanf(or something like that) to catch the 'New' process & move everything from that point on till another 'New' process is entered into a new queue or an array.

My code

          scanf("%d", &Processtime[i]);
    }
    
    cout<<"Processname \t  Process time"<<endl;
    for(int i = 0; i< numProcess; i++)
    {
          printf("\t %s\t \t%d\n",Processname[i],Processtime[i]);
    }
    
    for(int i = 0; i<numProcess; i++)
    {
            printf("Process %s from %d", Processname[i], wait,(wait+Processtime[i]));
            wait+=Processtime[i];
    }
    
    for(int i = 0; i<(numProcess-1); i++)
    {
            serviceTime+=Processtime[i];
            totalTime+=serviceTime;
    }
    
    averageTime = (float)totalTime/numProcess;
    cout<<"Average waiting time"<<averageTime<<endl;
    totalTime = averageTime=serviceTime=0;
    for(int i = 0; i<numProcess; i++)
    {
            serviceTime+=Processtime[i];
            totalTime+=serviceTime;
  
    }
    
    averageTime = (float)totalTime/numProcess;
    cout<<"Turn around time"<<averageTime<<endl;
    system("Pause");
    return 0;
}


I would appreciate if someone give me some specific example & not give a link.

Thankyou
