Homework: reading from file

[anthony johnson]

Hi Guys,
I am in a C++ class, my homework assignment is to ask a user for a file name. when they input the file name it should display 24 lines of output at a time an then pause and wait for the user to press a key before it will output the next 24 lines. My code is below, but it does not show the 24 output lines, its all blank. can someone please explain what i did wrong?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main() 
{
	//gets file name
	cout << "Please enter the name of the file: ";
	string fileName;		//holds file name
	getline(cin, fileName);	//

	ifstream file(fileName.c_str(), ios::out);

	string line;
	for (int count = 1; !file.eof(); ++count)
	{
		getline(file, line);

		cout << line << endl;
		if (count % 24 == 0) 
	system("Pause");
	}
}

the file i am using is a text file named 'random' a sample of the text file is below

Mann you're good, works perfectly. Just that when entering the filename, you must enter the file extension also--in this context, .txt

Hope it HELPS!!!
