#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream inputFile;
    string filename;
    string line;
   
    cout<<"Enter file name: ";
    cin>> filename;
   
   
    inputFile.open(filename.c_str());
    if(!inputFile.is_open()){
                             cout << "open failed ";
                             return 1;
    }                           
   
   
              
         while (inputFile>> line ){
            cout<< line <<endl;
            }
   
    inputFile.close();
  
    system ("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}   

Explanation / Answer

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
ifstream inputFile;
string filename;
string line;

cout<< "Enter file name: ";
cin >> filename;


inputFile.open(filename.c_str());
if(!inputFile.is_open())
{
cout << "open failed ";
return 1;
}   


  
while (getline(inputFile,line)) // reading line by line
{
cout<< line << endl; // output line
}

inputFile.close();
  
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
