    how to notify the EOF?

    what should i put in the while condition?

    Code:
    ifstream file3("idreport.txt");
    	char buf1[20],buf2[20];
    	while (this is not the END OF FILE)
    	{
    	file3.getline(buf1,20,' ');
    	file3.getline(buf2,20,'\n');
    	cout << "buf 1 is" << buf1 << "\n";
    	cout << "buf2 is" << buf2 << "\n";
    	}
    	file3.close();

    thank you for helping
