random words from text document

[Steven Menzies]

Hello. I was wondering how you would gererate a random word from a text document.

I have tryed this

string startWord;
string getlin;
    ifstream startWor;
    startWor.open("words.txt");


   startWor >>(startWord);
    cout<<startWord[rand() % 5];

It doesnt seem to be working though. Any advice?
