Reading lines with 2 numbers each in C++

I'm pretty rusty on my C++. I'm wondering what the best way is to read input in the following format:

400 200
138 493
...

I'm currently using while(cin.peek()!=-1) to check for EOF, and then within that, I'm using while(cin.peek()!='\n') to check for newlines. This is fine for reading in full lines of text, but how can I limit it to 2 numbers and/or grab just those 2 numbers?

Solution 
  • int num1,num2;
while(cin>>num1>>num2)
{
     //...
}

    or

    string line;
int num1,num2;
stringstream ss;
while(getline(cin,line))
{
    ss<<line;
    ss>>num1>>num2;
    //...
}
