I'm writing a code for a user input but i cannot find a good source on how to use "peek"

	   cout << "Balance : ";
		cin >> file.balance;
			if(file.balance < 0)
			{
				cout << "Please Enter postivie numerical value for balance: ";
				cin >> file.balance;
			}
		if(cin.peek() == '$')
		{
			// get one character
			cin.ignore('$')
		}
		//read the number


How do i get the character get.ch?
and then how do i display the new numbers w/o the $ there

Is the user inputting a $? user.input should be an integer/double rather then a string, no?
