In C++ what's the easiest way for a user to enter data going into a 2D array?

Question

I want the program to take user input to fill a 2D array of ints and I'm not sure what the easiest format to have the user enter the data would be (easy in terms of programming).

For example in Java I could use .split() to separate integers by spaces or commas etc., but since a string can't easily be broken up in C++, this is a problem.

I don't want to prompt the user each time for each element such as:

enter integer for location 0, 0
enter integer for location 0,10
enter integer for location 2, 0

I haven't tried boost but strtok is pretty easy to use but may have some multithreading issues.
