Capture, Delmiting, Parsing, Mapping and Publishing

Hi,

I am very new to C++ and have been assigned the following project this summer. I have to capture real time data which is displayed on a GUI. This information looks like __Column#1 (order number)__ -- __Column#2 (order id)__ -- __Column#3 (timestamp)__ ... Column#n and each column has several thousand values associated with it.

So I have been told to output each row of my martix as a string, delimit this string, then parse the data by using STL map and extract the timestamp column suitably to calculate latency..and finally publish this parsed data to a file.

This is what I have been told. Can anyone guide me as to how I can go about doing this. I hope I was clear enough. I am only a beginner. Thanks
What have you done so far? We won't do it for you but we can help with code you don't understand.
