Whoa, that's really old-school...

The best bet for what you're thinking of doing is to use get(char) which
is available from streams.  That means, however that you'd have to process
every character, and do a lot of the work that streams already provide for
you (parsing spaces, splitting strings, converting to numbers, etc.).

char c;
cin.get(c);
if(c == '\t') {
  // do tab stuff...
}

Good luck,
