How to Read from .txt file & Write into .bin file w/o weird char at the end

1 New Member
I am trying to create a .bin file of records from a .txt file. Initially the records are stored in a text file and I want to Read from the .txt file and Write to the .bin file.

This is the C++ code. The result write exactly but it has funny-looking unwanted characters attached at the end of the .bin file. How do I fix it?

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

struct details {
int id;
string name;
int age;
string address;
string sport;
};

const int SIZE=100;

int main( int argc, char* argv[]) {
if( argc!=3) {
cout<<"illegal \n";
system ("pause");
return 1;
}
details x[SIZE];

ofstream out( argv[1], ios::ate|ios::o ut|ios::binary) ;
ifstream in ( argv[2], ios::in |ios::binary);

if(!in) {
cout<<"Sorry no such file\n";
system ("pause");
return -1;
}

if(in.good()) {
while(!in.eof() ) {
in.read( (char*)(&x), sizeof(details) *SIZE);
}
}
in.close();

out.write( (char*)(&x), sizeof(details) *SIZE);

out.close();
system("pause") ;
return 0;
}

Hi there, I got a program to write data to a randomly accessed file (the program moves file pointer to a certain position of the file according the current "keyword" and then writes data). It compiles and runs in Win2K and various Unix and Linux systems. The main program is in Fortran, calling a data writing library writen in C++. The weird thing is, it takes much longer elapse time (wall-clock time) than CPU time (e.g., 20 min vs. 2...

Hi, I have these string data: str_data1, str_data2, str_data3, which capture some value after a routine process A. Then I would like to write (append) these 3 string values into a text file each time after routine process A, the text file is named "mytext.dat" in following format with "#####" as separator. The maximum entries of them is 5. When reaching the fifth entry, it will delete the very first entry.

In the answer to question 12.42 of the C FAQ, we have this code: putc((unsigned)((s.i32 >24) & 0xff), fp); putc((unsigned)((s.i32 >16) & 0xff), fp); putc((unsigned)((s.i32 >8) & 0xff), fp); putc((unsigned)(s.i32 & 0xff), fp); putc((s.i16 >8) & 0xff, fp); putc(s.i16 & 0xff, fp);
