Thread: Simple - but not for me!!

I am just starting to re-learn c++ having learnt the extreme basics some years ago and seem to be stumbling at the first hurdle.

I am using Code Blocks and the Ray Lischner book Exploring C++

Having typed in the very first listing it runs ok except that when I have typed in a list of words I can't figure out how to tell it that I have finished typing in and want the output to appear; the only change I made was to add using namespace std; to save typing std:: all the time; I have very carefully checked the listing and can find no errors :

Code:

nclude <algorithm>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <ostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

void read(istream& in, vector<string>& text)
{
    string line;
    while(getline(in, line))
        text.push_back(line);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    vector<string> text;
    if (argc < 2)
        read(cin, text);
    else
    {
        ifstream in(argv[1]);
    if (not in)
        {
            perror(argv[1]);
            return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }
        read(in, text);
    }
        sort(text.begin(), text.end());

        copy(text.begin(), text.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"));
}
