Reading from a text file into an array - c++

Question

I'm just a beginner for C++
I want to read the text file (maximum of 1024 words) into an array, and I need to ignore all single character words. Can you guys help me to discard words that are single characters to avoid symbols, special characters.
This is my code:
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int SIZE = 1024;
void showArray(string names[], int SIZE){
cout << "Unsorted words: " << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++){
cout << names[i] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
}
int main()
{
int count = 0;
string names[SIZE];
// Ask the user to input the file name
cout << "Please enter the file name: ";
string fileName;
getline(cin, fileName);
ifstream inputFile;
inputFile.open(fileName);
// If the file name cannot open
if (!inputFile){
cout << "ERROR opening file!" << endl;
exit(1);
}
// sort the text file into array
while (count < SIZE)
{
inputFile >> names[count];
if (names[count].length() == 1);
else
{
count++;
}
}
showArray(names, SIZE); // This function will show the array on screen
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

If you change names into a std::vector, then you can populate it using push_back. You could fill names like this.
for (count = 0; count < SIZE; count++)
{
std::string next;
inputFile >> next;
if (next.length() > 1);
{
names.push_back(next);
}
}
Alternatively you could fill all the words into names and then utilize the Erase–remove idiom.
std::copy(std::istream_iterator<std::string>(inputFile),
std::istream_iterator<std::string>(),
std::back_inserter<std::vector<std::string>>(names));
names.erase(std::remove(names.begin(), names.end(),
[](const std::string& x){return x.length() == 1;}), names.end());
