    <p>I'm obviously not quite getting the 'end-of-file' concept with C++ as the below program just isn't getting past the "while (cin >> x)" step. Whenever I run it from the command line it just sits there mocking me.</p> <p>Searching through SO and other places gives a lot of mention to hitting ctrl-z then hitting enter to put through an end-of-file character on windows, but that doesn't seem to be working for me. That makes me assume my problem is elsewhere. Maybe defining x as a string is my mistake? Any suggestions about where I'm going wrong here would be great.</p> <p>Note: sorry for the lack of comments in the code - the program itself is supposed to take in a series of words and then spit back out the count for each word.</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;string&gt; #include &lt;vector&gt; #include &lt;algorithm&gt; #include &lt;iomanip&gt; using std::cin; using std::cout; using std::endl; using std::sort; using std::string; using std::vector; int main() { cout &lt;&lt; "Enter a series of words separated by spaces, " "followed by end-of-file: "; vector&lt;string&gt; wordList; string x; while (cin &gt;&gt; x) wordList.push_back(x); typedef vector&lt;string&gt;::size_type vec_sz; vec_sz size = wordList.size(); if (size == 0) { cout &lt;&lt; endl &lt;&lt; "This list appears empty. " "Please try again." &lt;&lt; endl; return 1; } sort(wordList.begin(), wordList.end()); cout &lt;&lt; "Your word count is as follows:" &lt;&lt; endl; int wordCount = 1; for (int i = 0; i != size; i++) { if (wordList[i] == wordList[i+1]) { wordCount++; } else { cout &lt;&lt; wordList[i] &lt;&lt; " " &lt;&lt; wordCount &lt;&lt; endl; wordCount = 1; } } return 0; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
