What does your tutorial say about fstream? What examples does it show? Do
any of them have "eof" in them?

while ( mystream >MyVar )
{
// process MyVar
}
mystream.close( );

or
while (std::getline( mystream, mystring) )
{
// process mystring
}
mystream.close( );

After close() check the stream state. Otherwise you don't know "when a
file is finsihed".

Please explain this. After you call .close() don't we know that the file is
"finished"?

"finished"?

But when .close() fails?

Maybe, then you have an open but "finished" file. Could someone explain what
this "finished" term means. Is that an officially recognized state a file
can be in?
