Reading a word

I have this simple problem that I can't figure out. I'm trying scan in a text doc. and look for particular words. What would be the best way? I've tried using

Code:

---

get()

---

and put it in a loop but it only grabs a character at a time. I've also tried

Code:

---

>>

---

that stops at the white space and ends the program.

Same questions over and over again. Please do a search for reading from a file on these boards. There's also inumerous FAQs on the matter. Both on Cprog website as everywhere else in the web.

whole line - getline();
get - a character
<< a word, stops at a whitespace (space, tab, newline).

There's some stringstream thing, I think, which does the whole file. Search search search!

You'll probably need a loop of some kind too.
