Thanks!
But using the same logic, may be a little change fixes the problem.
Isn't this the same?

<code>
using namespace std;

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

int main(int argc,char **argv)
{	istream *in_p;
	int val;
	if (argc==2)
	{	in_p=new ifstream(argv[1]);
		// Test in_p->good()
	}
	else
		in_p=&cin;
	*in_p >> val;
	cout << "val=" << val << endl;
	if (in_p!=&cin)
		delete in_p;
	return 0;
}

Yes :-) For small/medium projects no need for namespaces.
Thank you
