Access File Payroll Code Program, need help

Databend (29)
Creating a program that allows the user to enter a payroll code, the program searches for it and displays its corresponding salary amount. Should display this amount and allow the user to re enter a new code. I feel like I may be getting close to doing this right but I can't seem to get it to work, and if someone could get it working/help me get it working I would appreciate it. Access file contents will be underneath the code.

Here is some code to read and parse the file. It reads the integer code, then one character, which should be the '#', the another integer. It prints out the result after checking to ensure that that character is '#'. Make sure you understand how this code works. Then add code to print out the salary for code that was entered.

    char ch;
    int code, salary;
    while (cin >> code >> ch >> salary) {
        if (ch != '#') {
            cout << "trouble paring line\n";
        } else {
            cout << code << ": " << salary << '\n';
        }
    }
