无法将字符串与"y"进行比较

我正在计算代码中有多少y。因为你可以看到我的文件中有一些y。但计数器仍然是零。我做错了什么?(注:我知道它们都是if(word=="y")我也要数n。这里应该不重要)

inline ifstream& read(ifstream& is, string f_name)
{
is.close();
is.clear();
is.open(f_name.c_str());
return is;
}
//main function
int main ()
{
string f_name=("dcl");
ifstream readfile;
read(readfile, f_name);
string temp, word;
istringstream istring;
int counter=0, total=0;
while(getline(readfile,temp))
{
    istring.str(temp);
    while(istring>>word)
    {
        cout<<word<<"_"<<endl;
        if(word=="y")
            ++counter;
        if(word=="y")
            ++total;
    }
    istring.clear();
}
cout<<counter<<" "<<total<<" "<<endl;
return 0;   
}

，我的输出是

Date_
9am_
Break_
Lunch_
Walk_
Break_
---------------------------------------------------_
11/09/11_
y_
y_
y_
y_

my input codes:
