Are you doing anything else in that while-loop? 'cause I can't see anything that would break the loop (with very limited c++ knowledge I might add)

edit: perhaps it's the variable type of 'x' that is causing the problem?
will the '>>' operator fail with an incorrect variable? (i.e. if x is declared as an int, will assigning a string fail, thus not moving the filepointer towards EOF, and retaining the original value of 'x'?)
