Read in from a file with specific syntax …

[toton]

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review my problem. I’m trying to read in from a file which has specific syntax (shown below) and recognize part1 and part2. It should compare part1 with an internal value to be returned from later code. In short:
The file will consist of the following:
 
part1:part2
etc…
 
I need to read each line and recognize part1 as a variable and part2 as a variable (seperated by the colon, which is to be ignored). If I can get that working, I have the rest sorted out (i think). All feedback is greatly appreciated!!

Heres an old program that I have that reads an int then a float on each line:

 if ( inputFile.fail() ) //check if file opened

 {

  cout << "File Did Not Open!" << endl;

  return 1;

 }

 

 int i;

 double d; //use better names here!!!!!

 

 inputFile >> i;

 while ( ! inputFile.eof() )

 {

  inputFile >> d;

  cout << i << " " << d << endl;

  inputFile >> i;

 }

 inputFile.close();

 return 0;

}
