Thread: searching files

wondering if anyone can help. i am trying to write a program that searches a file and adds every word to an array. i want to make it so that the user can type in the name of the file from the console. pretty much like this......
cout << "enter name";
cin >> name;
in_stream.open(name);

anyone know how this can be done?

You seem to know pretty much what you wanna do. Here´s my advice:

1. Write pseudo
2. Convert to C++
3. Compile and Run
4. Find errors, and if you can´t, then come back here and ask!

Specific questions can be asked and answered too..
