    Need to print out number of words and lines in a file

    My instructor kind of assumed we'd know how to do this. I kind of get the idea, but I don't know what to do with the cstring I generate when I tokenize it.

    He said to:

    Write a program that prompts the user for the name of a file. Then it opens the file, and counts the number of words and lines in the file, and prints out those counts.

    I think I possibly could somehow use a counter to increment using getLIne() until getLine() returns NULL, but the problem is, I'm worried if I try that, a file that looks like this:

    Bla bla bla bla bla lkfdljkfaklafdskjladsjkdfkjlkdfjdfshafdsjkjrerjkkjfaddjkfsafkjdjakdfsjkasfjkjkfdskjldfjkfjkdjfkdsakdjfkjfdkjdfskjfdskjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjdfkerea

    Only register four lines and not get the one after the fourth line.

    So I was thinking of something like

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include<ifstream>
    #include<cstring>
    #include<string>
    #include<vector>
    #include <cstdlib>
    using namespace std;
    
    iostream keyboard;
    ifstream file;
    iostream cin;
    iostream cout;
    vector<int> v;
    int main()
    {
    
    int lineCount = 0;
    string filename;
    cout << "Enter a file name.";
    cin >> filename;
    file(filename);
    char* ch;
    int tempWord = 0;
    	ch = strtok(line, "%s\");
    
    while (ch != NULL)
    {
    tempWord++;
    }
    
    v.push_back(tempWord);
    lineCount++;
    while(!file.eof())
    {
    string line = file.nextLine();
    
    char* ch;
    int tempWord = 0;
    	ch = strtok(line, "%s\");
    
    while (ch !=NULL)
    {
    tempWord++;
    
    }
    
    v.push_back(tempWord);
    lineCount++;
    
    
    
    
    
    }
    
    cout <<"Line count: " << lineCount;
    
    int total;
    for (int i =0; i < v.size(); i++)
    {
    total = total + v[i];
    }
    
    cout << "Word count: " << total;
    
    return 0;
    }
    Did I do that right?

    Will that count the number of words and number of lines correctly?

    I really need help now. It's due tomorrow.
