C++ How do we find each line of a word from a text file?

I am reading a text file word for word and I am trying to find the number of the line the word is in. For example if I had the following:

Dog Cat Car Truck

Dog is found on line one, Cat is found on line one, Car line two, and Truck line 3.

I have the following code:

int main(){
string word;
ifstream inFile;
Node* rootPtr = NULL; // Pointer to the root node

inFile.open("example.txt");
if (!inFile)
    cout << "Unable to open text file";

while (inFile >> word) {
    if (word == "#")
        break;
    else{
    rootPtr = Insert(rootPtr,word.substr(0,10));
    }
}
inOrderPrint(rootPtr);
inFile.close();
}

You can ignore anything to do with the pointers. That is for some other stuff. I have tried figuring out how to check for the end of the line and creating a counter that will increment every time then end of a line is found but I was unsuccessful.

Thanks for your help!
