Reading getline from cin into a stringstream (C++)

Question

So I\'m trying to read input like this from the standard input (using cin):

Answer 1

You cannot std::getline() a std::stringstream; only a std::string. Read as a string, then use a stringstream to parse it.

struct Student
{
  string   name;
  string   course;
  unsigned grade;
};

vector  students;
string s;
while (getline( cin, s ))
{
  istringstream ss(s);
  Student student;
  if (ss >> student.name >> student.course >> student.grade)
    students.emplace_back( student );
}

Hope this helps.
