Hi, I have read a .txt file into a list<string> container and now I am trying to pull out individual lines that meet certain criteria. For example the text file I am reading from is layed out like a table:
Name age sex
Peter 25 m
Paul 32 f
Jenny 19 f

I want to retrieve a line by searching for the name e.g passing a "Peter" argument will return "Peter 25 m" and afterwards I want to split this line up into individual elements "Peter", 25 and 'm'
How would I go about this?
Here is the code I have so far.

int main()
{    
    string temp;
    ifstream fileInput;
    list<string> L;

    fileInput.open("Data.txt");
    if(!fileInput)
        {
            cerr<< "file cannot be found";
        }
    else
        {
            while( getline(fileInput, temp)){
                 L.push_back( temp ); 
             }
        }

and then to try and pull individual lines out

std::list<std::string>::iterator i;

    for (i = input.begin(); i != input.end(); ++i)
{
   if (*i == "Peter 25 m")
   {
      break;
   }
}

if (i != input.end())
{
    std::cout<< *i;
}
else
{
    std::cout  "not found line";
}

The above snippet works however it only outputs the line if the full line is matched exactly instead of just matching the name.
