counting number of lines in a given file

cniper (54)
i am suppose to write a program where it asks a user to input a text file location and then counts the number of lines in this file. output may look as:
1
2
 
enter a text file:c:/data/file.txt
c:/data/file.txt contains 478 lines

1

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	string s,t;
	int count=0;
	cout<<"enter a text file :";
	cin>>s;
	ifstream inFile(s);
	while(!inFile.eof())
	{
		getline(inFile,t);
		count++;
	}
	cout<<s<<"contains "<<count<<"lines";
}

problem is when i enter a location nothing happens.

ok i figured it out. the problem is with 11th line it is supposed to be:
ifstream inFile(s.c_str());
