Help with creating a user input BTree for hierarchy structure

Question

I have been trying to create code that takes a user input string
ex: a:b,c;b:g,h,j;g:k,m;b:u
note: (the above string is then stored into a string array such in the format a:bc;b:ghj;g:km;b:u after it is verified that the hierarchy order is correct)
The string is read in such that the any value before the : is a parent and its childern continue until a ; is found. Anyway verifying the sting I have accomplished and I have been able to input the string into a modified binary tree as long as there are only 2 childern per parent and graphically represents its structure of hierarchy. The problem is that each parent can have more the two childern.
I have been working with the BTree class and find its output similar to what I am wanting which would represent a hierarchy of objects (files, employees, etc...) anyway I have been stumped as to how to get the above string into a format that can then create the correct BTree output without hard code.
If any one has any suggestions on how to turn the data, in the string array into a usable format to create the correct BTree output, I would greatly appreciate it.
In the above example the string array, a:bc;b:ghj;g:km;b:u would have a desired ouput of
a
..b
....g
......k
......m
....h
....j
....u
..c
Thanks
