Reading getline from cin into a stringstream (C++)

Viewed 56882

So I'm trying to read input like this from the standard input (using cin):

Adam English 85
Charlie Math 76
Erica History 82
Richard Science 90

My goal is to eventually store each data piece in its own cell in a data structure I have created, so basically I want to parse the input so each piece of data is individual. Since each row of input is inputted by the user one at a time, each time I get an entire row of input that I need to parse. Currently I am trying something like this:

stringstream ss;
getline(cin, ss);

string name;
string course;
string grade;
ss >> name >> course >> grade;

The error I am having is that XCode is telling me there's no matching function call to getline which is confusing me. I have included the string library, so I'm guessing the error has to do with using getline to read in from cin to a stringstream? Any help here would be appreciated.
