End Of File (ifstream)

If I am reading a .txt file with ifstream, what is the syntax to recognice if I have reached the end of file. From what I have heard somewhere before, I think it has with eof to do ?

ifstream File("C:\\File1\\");

std::string Line;



while( getline(File, Line, ',') )

{



        if (         ?           )   // end of file ?



        {

   

        }            

}

Re: End Of File (ifstream)

ifstream File("C:\\File1\\");

std::string Line;



while( getline(File, Line, ',') )

{

      // do stuff

} 

// the end of the file is here

It's as simple as that ;)

And I wouldn't use 'File' as a name because it looks to much like : FILE. Something like 'infile' would be better IMO.

Well do you mean the end of the c++ program or the end of "file.txt" as you have mentioned in the program?

Thanks... you are right, that solved the problem :)
I will think about not using File too.
