Reading from input file and writing to new

[fancyfanz]

I am trying to write a function that will read the numbers from an input file, take the sum of the numbers divisible by 2 and 5, and then output that sum into a new file. I do not know what I am doing wrong. Here is my code. Any help is appreciated!

  #include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x = 0;
    int sum = 0;
    int i;

    ifstream inFile;
    ofstream outFile;
    string userInput;

    cout << "Enter a file name: ";
    cin >> userInput;

        //open file for input
        inFile.open(userInput.c_str());
        //check file opening for error

        if (inFile.fail())
        {
            cout << "Input file opening failed.\n";
            exit(1);
        }

        outFile.open("outputfile.txt");

        inFile >> x;
        while(inFile)
        {
            if (x%2 == 0 || x%5 == 0)
            sum += x;
        }
        inFile.close();


        outFile << "The sum is " << sum << endl;
        cout << "Output has been placed in the file: outputfile.txt" << endl;
        outFile.close();
        return 0;
        }

your while loop is the problem.
