reading spaces from file

[badass]

basically im trying to read characters from a file and store them in my linked list...but my code doesnt read white spaces...when i print the list theres only characters and no spaces

heres the code...

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

using namespace std;

void readFile(list<char> &tempList,const string &file,int &count)
{
ifstream fin;
char temp;
list<char>::iterator itr= tempList.begin();

fin.open(file.c_str());
if(!fin){
cout << "Can't open" << file.c_str() << "\n";
exit(0);
}

while(!fin.eof()){
fin >> temp;
if(fin.good()){
tempList.push_back(temp);
if(temp == ' ')
count++;
}
else if(!fin.eof()){
cout << "Can't read from" << file.c_str() << "\n";
exit(0);
}
}
fin.close();
}

void printFile(list<char> &templist)
{
list<char>::iterator itr= templist.begin();
while(itr != templist.end()){
cout << *itr;
itr++;
}

}

int main(int argc,char* argv[])
{
list<char> maze1;
int count=0;

if (argc != 2) {
cout << "Doesn't take 1 argument";
exit(0);
}
readFile(maze1,argv[1],count);
printFile(maze1);
cout << "\n" << count;
return 0;
}

thanks

Please use [code] tags.

The skipws flag is on by default. You need to turn it off.

fin >> noskipws;

Hope this helps.
