#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

 

 

void main(int argc, char **argv)

{

      // make sure that the user has specified a filename

      if(argc < 2)

      {

            cout << endl << "You must enter a filename" << endl << endl;

            return;

      }

      

      string filename = argv[1];

 

      ifstream fin(filename.c_str());           // define our file input stream

 

      // make sure that the file exists

      if(!fin)

      {

            cout << endl << "Cannot find file" << endl << endl;

            return;

      }

 

      /********************************************************************

      cout << endl << "Reading input file: " << filename << endl << endl;

 

      int words = 0, max = 0;             // to count words and longest line

      string temp;

 

      for (int line = 1; !fin.eof(); line ++)

      {                             // for each line in file ...

 

                                          // get the line into temp string

 

                                          // create string stream tokeniser

 

                                          // for each word from line ...

 

                                                // increment word count for line

 

                                    // update total words so far

                                    // update longest line if latest was longer

 

      }

Im trying to do this but i dont know how to create a stream tokeniser - i know thats what i have to do but where do i start?

Thanks for your help
