parsing string with std::stringstream

Does *ANYONE* in here know how I may parse the various date/time
'elements' from a string?. The input string has the ff format:

'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM'

how to parse this string using std::stringstream. Did you not read the
replies, or did you not like them?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Enter Date/Time format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM: ";
std::string DateTime;
std::getline( std::cin, DateTime );

std::stringstream Stream( DateTime );
int Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second;
std::string AmPm;
char ThrowAway;
Stream >Year >ThrowAway >Month >ThrowAway >Day;
Stream >Hour >ThrowAway >Minute >ThrowAway >Second;
Stream >AmPm;

std::cout << Year << "-" << Month << "-" << Day << " " << Hour << ":" <<
Minute << ":" << Second << " " << AmPm;

}

Thanks Jim, I'll study the code and make any suitable
checks/modifications/error handling.

Some ISPs are slow to propagate (and getting worse (spam filters, etc.)).

std::stringstream ss;
ss << "2007-07-19 11:18:01 AM";
int year, month, day, hour, min, sec;
char c;
ss >year >c >month >c >day >hour >c >min >c >>
sec;
std::cout << " " << year << " " << month << " " << day << " " <<
hour << " " << min << " " << sec;
