    // open the file for input
    ifstream dataFile("STACKTEST.txt", ifstream::in);

    // variables
    string name;
    int val;

    // if the file was successfully opened, continue
    if(dataFile.fail())
    {
        cout << "Error opening file\n";
    }else{
        while(!dataFile.eof())

            dataFile >> name;
            dataFile >> val;
            cout << name << " " << val << endl;
    }


I know getline() can separate lines with a delimiter but how i get the numbers and string seperate

    if the word is 'push'
        read in the rest of the line
        process push command
