Using Getline to input data from a file

oudavid1 (42)
I am writing a program that will input data from a file and place it into a struct.The idea is to input a list of Beatles songs from 5 different albums, I am struggling with the input part. The input file is in the same directory as the C++ file and executable, the input is below and as you can see the albums are sorted and separated by "====" signs. How should I go about imputing the data and telling the computer to separate by Albums and mind the "====" signs. I have tried using getline but cannot seem to get it. Any help would be appreciated.
