Hi,

I'm using the following bit of code:

ifstream data("words.dat");
while (!data.eof())
{
 string s;
 data >> s;
 if (s.length() > 0)
 {
  //...
 }
}

This works fine on a computer where it was compiled (= where djgpp is
installed), but not on other computers. It seems, like
data >> s doesn't do what I expect it to do (and what it does on the
computer where it was compiled). It should read a string from the file
linked to the data variable and proceed to the next line. When running on a
machine without djgpp it doesn't read nor proceed so it'll never stop as
data.eof() is never true.

Does anybody know this error/bug? What do I do wrong and how can I correct
it?

Greetings, Oliver
