Question

Ok, its been a while since I’ve done any file input or string manipulation but what I’m attempting to do is as follows

while(infile >> word) { 
    for(int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
        if(word[i] == '\n') { 
            cout << "Found a new line" << endl; 
            lineNumber++; 
        }

        if(!isalpha(word[i])) {
            word.erase(i);
        }

        if(islower(word[i])) {
            word[i] = toupper(word[i]);         
        }
    }
}

Now I assume this is not working because >> skips the new line character?? If so, whats a better way to do this.
