Unable to successfully compare strings - c++

Question

The idea is to take a file and print out the amount of words in the file. Then prompt the user to enter a word, the program will then count how many times that word is iterated. However I am having trouble with being able to pick out the chosen word from the file, no matter what it still returns 0.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
fstream infile;
int i = 0;
string word_counter;
string file_name;
bool opened = false;
while (opened == false){
cout << "Enter the name of the file to read: ";
cin >> file_name;
infile.open(file_name, fstream::in);
opened = true;
if (!infile.is_open()) {
cout << "ERROR: CANNOT OPEN INPUT FILE" << endl;
cout << endl;
opened = false;
}
}
while (!infile.eof()){
infile >> word_counter;
cout << word_counter << endl;
i++;
}
cout << "Read in " << i << " words\n";
bool done = false;
while (!done){
string word;
string quit;
int x = 0;
cout << "Enter a word to count how many times it occurs: ";
cin >> word;
while (!infile.eof()){
infile << word_counter;
if (word_counter == word){
x++;
}
}
cout << "The word \"" << word << "\" occurs " << x << " times" << endl;
cout << "Press any key to continue, or press Q to quit: ";
cin >> quit;
if (quit == "q" || quit == "Q"){
done = true;
}
}
infile.close();
return 0;
}

Answer 1

You forgot to rewind the file.
Add the following lines
infile.clear(); // Clear the EOF flag
infile.seekg(0); // rewind
right after
cin >> word;
Also, you are using << instead of >> in the line
infile << word_counter;
Since you are not reading anything from the file, the enclosing while block stays in an infinite loop. Change that line to:
infile >> word_counter;
