You should be testing the return value from std::cin.getline() for
end-of-file. You are not testing it for any error. Always test return values.
In your script, the end of the here document will cause your program to see
end-of-file (this is NOT the string "EOF" - that's just the way you denote
the end of the here doc).
And you really ought to find a forum or mailing list where this kind of
question is ON-topic. Flagging the subject OT isn't a magic permission
to post anything you like!
