There are a huge number of ways to do this, some of them quite impressive to
look at with iterators liberally sprinkled with the all purpose word
"const". IMO, there is no one "right" way to do it.

I would write a while loop, examine each character as it came in, and if it
were a comma or a space, I would replace the character with the tab
character.

Osmium is on the right track. I did a similar thing a few months ago.
Basically all you have to use is fstream to open up a file, and if it
finds a "," or a similar character, replace it with something else.
There is a specific function for this but I can't recall it off the top
of my head.

Oh, and questions like these are best left for google :).
