Reading binary files: problem with argument types

Hi,
i have a text file input.txt that contain binary data
i'm reading a stream of bytes and then converting them from unreadable symbols to a string of characters.
My conversion is from unsigned char array to integer array of 1's and 0's (binary)

my problem is when i read from the file using "get" or "getline" these functions read into a char array but my data is in Bytes = unsigned char array
i'm wondering is ther any way to read Byte or unsigned char brom a file in C++

re: Reading binary files: problem with argument types

Have you opened the file as a binary file?

If so, then you should, be able to read in the bytes unaltered.
