Ignore the "#" symbol when reading the file C++

I have a file with the format below. I want to read the file in and print it out. But when I do read in and print, it will be some garbage. I think it is because the # symbol starts at the line. So, what is the right way to read in the whole file while ignoring the "#" line

int main(){      ifstream inFile;      inFile.open("city_list.txt");      string name;      int zone;      int rank;        static std::string const symbols = "#";      while (true){       inFile >> zone >> name >> rank;       cout << zone << " " << name<< " " << rank << endl      }      }  

Input File (city_list.txt)

# AFRICA Zone 1  1 Cairo_EG  30  1 Johannesburg_SA  -26  1 Lagos_NG  6    # ASIA Zone 2  2 Beijing_CN 3  #2 Hong_Kong_CN  2
