C++ how to read a line with delimiter until the end of each line?

Hi I need to read a file that looks like this…

1|Toy Story (1995)|Animation|Children's|Comedy
2|Jumanji (1995)|Adventure|Children's|Fantasy
3|Grumpier Old Men (1995)|Comedy|Romance
4|Waiting to Exhale (1995)|Comedy|Drama
5|Father of the Bride Part II (1995)|Comedy
6|Heat (1995)|Action|Crime|Thriller
7|Sabrina (1995)|Comedy|Romance
8|Tom and Huck (1995)|Adventure|Children's
9|Sudden Death (1995)|Action

As you can see the type of each movie can vary from 1 type to many…I wonder how could I read those until the end of each line?

I’m currently doing:

void readingenre(string filename,int **g)
{

    ifstream myfile(filename);
    cout << "reading file "+filename << endl;
    if(myfile.is_open())
    {
        string item;
        string name;
        string type;
        while(!myfile.eof())
        {
            getline(myfile,item,'|');
            //cout <<item<< "\t";
            getline(myfile,name,'|');
            while(getline(myfile,type,'|'))
            {
                cout<<type<<endl;
            }
            getline(myfile,type,'\n');
        }
        myfile.close();
        cout << "reading genre file finished" <<endl;
    }
}

the result is not what I want…It looks like:

Animation
Children's
Comedy
2
Jumanji (1995)
Adventure
Children's
Fantasy
3
Grumpier Old Men (1995)
Comedy
Romance

So it doesn’t stop at the end of each line…How could I fix this?
