I'm trying to write a program, and I need to be able to use new line, AND ">" as delimmiters. Can anyone help me? My code isn't really relevant, but here is a sample:

while(!RecordFile.eof() ) 
{
   getline(RecordFile, Content, '>');

   if (Content == "<MouseCORDS")
   { 
//Whatever I'm going to do...

Text file:

<MouseCORDS> 65> 94>
<KeyboardCommand>  43>

I can get the first line completely fine. However, after 94 has been read (It stops at ">"), it will read WHITESPACE, and then <keyboardcommand, so the following:

if(Content == "<KeyboardCommand")
{
}

will not work, because what's really in content is:
".........................................<KeyboardCommand"
Or something to the like. I can't specify multiple delimmiters in a single getline statement, so some help would be appreciated as to how I would go about doing this.

Note that, for reading files, don't use eof. Because it only stops when trying to read past the end of file which is not suitable.

You may want to have a look at [ This Tutorial ] which explains this approach.

You could also use Boost's tokenizer.
