// istream_iterator_operator.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>

#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   cout << "Enter integers separated by spaces & then\n"
        << " a character ( try example: '2 4 6 8 a' ): ";

   // istream_iterator from stream cin
   istream_iterator<int> intRead ( cin );

   // End-of-stream iterator
   istream_iterator<int> EOFintRead;

   while ( intRead != EOFintRead )
   {
      cout << "Reading:  " << *intRead << endl;
      ++intRead;
   }
