How to open and close a file from a while - c++

Question

I need this program to show the count of words from a file (text document). However, not reseting counter of words. its supposed to be 7 but it is displaying 62 words. I was told to close the file from the second last while and create a new while (which is the last one) and open the file again. I've working on this for a while. However, after making the changes it doesn't display the file anymore. the only thing display in the screen it s a th and account of 2 words.
Thanks for your help
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>//step#1
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string word,fileName;
char character;
int charcounter = 0, wordcounter = 0;
ifstream inData;// incoming file stream variable
cout << " Enter filename or type quit to exit: ";
cin >> fileName;
//loop to allow for multiple files data reads
while (fileName != "quit")
{
inData.open(fileName.c_str());//open file and bind file to ifstream variable
//loop for file not found validation
while (!inData)//filestream is in fail state due to no file
{
inData.clear();//clear the fail state
cout <<"File not found. Enter the correct filename: ";
cin >> fileName;
inData.open(fileName.c_str());
}
inData >> character;//extract a single character from the file
cout << "\n*****************************\n";
while (inData)
{
cout << character;
inData.get(character);
charcounter++;
}
cout << "\n******************************\n";
cout << fileName << " has " << charcounter << " words." << endl;
inData.close();//close the ifstream conection to the data file
while (inData)
{
cout << word;
wordcounter++;
inData.open(fileName.c_str());
}
charcounter = 0; //reset character count
wordcounter = 0;
//port for next file or exit
cout << "Enter a filename or type quit to exit: ";
cin >> fileName;
}
return 0;
}

Do you want this?
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>//step#1
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string word,fileName;
char character;
int charcounter = 0, wordcounter = 0;
ifstream inData;// incoming file stream variable
cout << " Enter filename or type quit to exit: ";
cin >> fileName;
//loop to allow for multiple files data reads
while (fileName != "quit")
{
inData.open(fileName.c_str());//open file and bind file to ifstream variable
//loop for file not found validation
while (!inData)//filestream is in fail state due to no file
{
inData.clear();//clear the fail state
cout <<"File not found. Enter the correct filename: ";
cin >> fileName;
inData.open(fileName.c_str());
}
cout << "\n*****************************\n";
while (inData)
{
inData >> character;//extract a single character from the file
cout << character;
charcounter++;
}
cout << "\n******************************\n";
cout << fileName << " has " << charcounter << " chars." << endl;
inData.close();//close the ifstream conection to the data file
inData.open(fileName.c_str());
while (inData)
{
inData >> word;
cout << word;
wordcounter++;
}
cout << "\n******************************\n";
cout << fileName << " has " << wordcounter << " words." << endl;
inData.close();//close the ifstream conection to the data file
charcounter = 0; //reset character count
wordcounter = 0;
//port for next file or exit
cout << "Enter a filename or type quit to exit: ";
cin >> fileName;
}
return 0;
