Thread: Word Counting

Hello all this is my first post here :-). I'm having trouble in a C++ program that I'm trying to write i have a text file with two lines in it that i've made up here are the following two lines.

The dog goes bark.
The cat goes meow.

These two lines are in a txt file called test.txt.
Here is the following code for this program that I cann't get to work.

When i try to print the file it only prints out "goes bark and the full sentance the cat goes moew. I have spent countless hours on this program this weekend and I haven't figured one thing out about it. Please Help me..

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include "tstring.h"


class WordCount
{
	private:
          String word;
          ifstream infile;
          int count;
          char c;

   public:
   	int ReadStr();
      int WriteStr();
      void CountWords();

};

int WordCount::ReadStr()
{
   infile.open("test.txt");


       infile >> word;

   return 0;
   }


int WordCount::WriteStr()
{
  infile >> word;
while(getline(infile, word, '\n'))
{
 infile >> word;
}
cout << word << endl;
 return 0;
 }

 void WordCount::CountWords()
{


 count= count+1;





   cout << "The number of words  in the file is: " << count << endl;

 }



int main()
{
WordCount WC;
char res;


do
{
	cout << "1 Read String." << endl;
   cout << "2 Print String." << endl;
   cout << "3 Count Words." <<endl;
   cout << "4 Exit." << endl;
   cout << "Please Select an operation: " << endl;

cin >> res;

switch(res)
{
case '1':
   		WC.ReadStr();
         break;
case '2':
			WC.WriteStr();
         break;
case '3':
			WC.CountWords();
         break;
case '4':
         cout << "Thanks for using my program." << endl;
			exit(1);
			break;
default:
	cout << "Invaild Option... Please Try again " << endl;
}
   } while(res!='4');
}

Any type of help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
