how do I extract specific data from a .txt file

[Princequarles]

I want a name displayed when the letters beside it is entered from the keyboard
eg when "ABC" is entered, Abraham is retrieved from .txt file
when "CME" is entered, Camille is retrieved from .txt file

A sample of the text file is below:

CODE NAME
ABC Abraham
CME Camille
JUN Junior

in my header file I have

class person
{    
     public:

     private:
             char code[3];
             char name[21];
};

Thanks

Princequarles.
