Hi guys - the question is in the subject line.
I thought of one quick way:
std::ifstream input("myfile.d at") ;
std::istreambuf _iterator beg(input), end ;
std::vector DataFile(beg,en d) ;
But Visual Studio complains about not being able to convert param 1 to
unsigned int....
Shame, as it seems really neat....
So is there a 'normal' way of doing it?
Cheers

If you know the size of the file (and you probably can figure it out),
then
std::vector<cha r> DataFile(filesi ze);
input.read(&Dat aFile[0], filesize);

Sounds reasonable enough - but to read the file length i need to start
at the start and read to the end, so I might as well store values as i
go....

This is incorrect. What type does your std::vector contain? ie: std::vector<

Depending on what your doing with the binary data, the 'quickest' way is not
to read the binary file in at all. In my experience, the 'quickest' is to
use your platforms facilities to memory map the file. The address and length
returned can then be used as _begin_ and _end_ iterators.

If you have the file name, you could use platform-specific means of
finding out the size of the file on your file system.

I´d recommend to follow Victor´s solution for binary files. However, I might
comment on the problem Visual Studio is complaining about. The vector
implementation of VC++ 6 is not capable of handling iterators passed in the
ctor. Hence, you´ll have to use copy() with a back_inserter.

'stat' is platform specific, but its part of POSIX - but that makes it
reasonably standard, right? Unless you're on Windows, in which case
check MSDN

I have a large char which I'd like to copy a portion of into a
vector<char>. I can't seem to locate a simple method for doing so. I
assume involving iterators will not result in memcpy not being used
and therefore will be less than optimal. Can anyone help me out?

Hi
I'm writing a p2p client for an existing protocol.
I used a std::vector<char> as a buffer for messages read from the server.
The message length is the first 4 bytes. The message code the second 4.
The total message length is therefore 4 + message length.
A number of messages work fine/as expected but there are consistant
errors occuring. After a period

I wrote a simple ODBC wrapper class that used code like this ( not real
