           }

         }

    }
        anti++;
    cout<<b;
cout<<a[100][1];
cout<<counter;
 return 0;
}


What I have tried:

i used another variable to do looping instead of b and other loops(for & do).

i think i have problem with indentation but i can't figure it out.

char a[10000][2];
int b=0;
using namespace std;
void read()
{
     int i;
     for(i=0;i<=10000;i++)
       {

          infile>>a[i][0]>>a[i][1];
       }
}


The largest index into the array a is a[9999][1], you for loop in the read() method tries to access a[10000][1], this will probably result in an access violation.

My while loop inside main() does not work more than once?

On first look, I see no reason for looping only once.
add this line inside the loop to have a trace of the looping.
C++
cout<<b;

Your code do not behave the way you expect, and you don't understand why !

There is an almost universal solution: Run your code on debugger step by step, inspect variables.
The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't know what your is supposed to do, it don't find bugs, it just help you to by showing you what is going on. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
To see what your code is doing: Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute.
