A small problem in the output

[The_Master]

Hi guys how are you , hope you are ok. I have a small problem with my code. briefly my program is about chained sequence numbers which requires a user to enter sequences separated by (-1) in an input file as follow:
123 122 121
-1
45 67 89
-1

in the output file the following will be shown:
the sequence 123 122 121 is chained
the sequence 45 67 89 is not chained

( a sequence is called chained when a number is differs by one digit from the previous number )
As can be seen int input that i have to enter -1 between each sequence... that's ok. But my main problem is that i have to enter -1 also after the last entered sequence otherwise an error will be shown in the compiler. Therefore, how can i fix that problem... i tried too much times but i didn't reach to any thing.... i wonder if you could help me guys.
The code is :

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

   bool differsByOneDigit ( int , int );
   void outputResults ( ostream & , const int * , int , bool );


int main()
{

   
   ifstream input ( "c:\\data.txt" );
   ofstream output ( "c:\\out.txt" );



   if ( input.fail() || output.fail() )
   {
       cout <<"input or output file did not open!!! " << endl;
       return 1;
   }

   int first  , next ; //32bit int == 2147483647
   int sequence [ 10 ];//sequence read
   int seqLength = 0; //sequence length
   int j;
   int temp;
   bool match; //matching sequence
   int firstSeq;


   if ( ! ( input >> temp ) )
   {
       //until you here otherwise, bad file format will be handled by program termination.
       cout << endl << "File has a non-int within";
       cout << endl << "Bad file format , terminating program!!! ";
       return 1;
   }
   else if ( temp > 1000000000 )
   {
       //until you here otherwise, number greater than 1 billion will be handled by program termination
       cout << endl << "File has number greater than 1 billion";
       cout << endl << "Too large number , terminating program!!! ";
       return 1;
   }

   while ( ! input.eof()  )
   {

       firstSeq = temp;
       //read next sequence
       while ( temp != -1 && seqLength < 10  && !input.eof()  )
       {
           sequence [ seqLength ++ ] = temp;
           if ( ! ( input >> temp ) )
           {
               //until you here otherwise, bad file format will be handled by program termination.
               cout << endl << "File has a non-int within";
               cout << endl << "Bad file format , terminating program!!! ";
               return 1;
           }

Without looking to in depth into you program it looks like your program will try to read forever if no -1 is found. I suggest that you read all of the input into one string and then split the string by a -1. This would keep you from needing an ending -1.

could you please write me the code because i'm very depressed and i dont know what to do

It sounds like it's not picking up the EOF.
