  istream& ignore( int nCount = 1, int delim = EOF );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nCount>    The maximum number of characters to extract.
 
  <delim>     The delimiter character (defaults to EOF).
 
  Remarks
 
  Extracts and discards up to <nCount> characters. Extraction stops if the
  delimiter <delim> is extracted or the end of file is reached. If <delim>
  = EOF (the default), then only the end of file condition causes
  termination. The delimiter character is extracted.
