Please Help
could someone please help me with a program? This is for a class i am taking in college and yes i did read all of the guidelines about not asking for help with homework and I normally wouldn't ask for help but i am totally stumped. This is driving me up the wall. I have to write a program that prints out the number of words in a text file. You know just do a Word Count. I am suppose to do it 2 different ways 1. Use a string object into which you input each word as a string. 2. Assume the string class (or include file) does not exist, and input the data one character at a time.
This is what i have done so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
void main ()
{
ifstream infile;
string word1;
infile.open("textfile.txt");
if (' ' == character)
wordCount++
}
Here is part of a program that i did to count commas in something
cin.get (inChar)
while (cin)
{
cin.get(inChar)
while (inCHar != '\n')
if (inChar == ',')
commaCount ++;
I know that i am supposed to do something similar for the word count thing. I dont know. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. And yes i know i am a complete idiot with this stuff and that this should be really easy.

smack the teacher, it works
I was gunna give you how to count all the characters, but that isn't how your teacher wanted it. Plus it was in C style. Why do I give you this information? because this person is cool -->:cool:
