Question

I need to count how many lines are in a text file. How do I makethe program recognize the EOLN?
This is what I have. Should I have the program read off eachcharacter and then when it reaches an EOLN have an if statementwith a counter in it?

#include <iostream>                  
#include <fstream>
#include <string>                  
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    string fileName;
    ifstream inFile;
    int lineCount++;

    cout << "Enter a valid filename (noblanks!): ";
    cin >> fileName;
    inFile.open (fileName.c_str());  

     while (inFile)
     {
          lineCount++;
      }

Explanation / Answer
