How can I count the frequency of words in a ASCII File using STL?
I dont know what words will be found in the file ahead of time.

I dont want to use any classes, just a simple program wd do.

Thanks!!!

You were already given the best possible advise, use std::map. You do not
have to write any classes yourself in order to follow that advise.

Why std::map instead of std::set? I think that std::set would work well.

Ooops, n/m my answer was bad. Wouldnt' count them. mutliset would work I
think.

It could be done with multiset, but it's much simpler with map. If you
use multiset you have to go back after you've read all the words and
count how many entries you have for each. With map the counting has
already been done.
