Thread: iterator copy problem

Im trying to get a list of words off a text file into an iterator. I tried using the copy function from fstream but i havent had any luck.

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include<iterator>
#include<algorithm>
#include<string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string word;

	ifstream infile("dictionary.txt");
	
	istream_iterator< string > in(infile);
	istream_iterator< string > eos; 
	
	vector< string > dictionary;

        copy(in,eos,back_inserter(dictionary));
	cout<<dictionary.size();

	return 0;
}

any ideas what im doing wrong?

What's your purpose for this program?
