A Program to demonstrate getline() function

From WikiKantila

/** 1 getline ( intut_stream, str, delim ); 
  *   Extracts characters from intut_stream and stores them in str 
  *   until str.max_size() characters have been extracted, the end of 
  *   file occurs, or delim is encountered, in which case delim is 
  *   extracted from istr but is not stored in str 
  * 2 getline( Iter, str ) Inputs a string value for str as in the 
  *   preceding func­tion with delim =
