C++ :: Music Program That Will Read Guitar Chord And Display It To User

I am writing a music program that will read (from a separate file) a guitar chord and display it to the the user. The format of the separate text file is as follows:

A
|--0--|
|--2--|
|--2--|
|--2--|
|--0--|
|--x--|

B
|--2--|
|--4--|
|--4--|
|--4--|
|--2--|
|--x--|

C
|--0--|
|--1--|
|--0--|
|--2--|
|--3--|
|--3--|

etc...

I want the user to be able to search for a specific chord in the file and how I can make that happen.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
