fread nightmare!

[deebee]

Hello everybody! I would be most grateful if anybody could help me out with this one! My code is:

        int SampleSize=100;
    const char* sample_in = "C:\\test.y";
 
    std::vector<double> Sample;
    Sample.resize(SampleSize);
 
    FILE* stream1;
    size_t numread;
    if ((stream1 = fopen(sample_in,"r")) != NULL)
    {
        numread = fread(&Sample[0],sizeof(double),SampleSize,stream1);
        fclose(stream1);
    }
    else
    { 
        printf("Sample could not be read in");
    }
 
    for (int i=0; i<(int)Sample.size(); i++)
    {
        printf("%1.3f \n",Sample[i]);
    }
 

where test.y contatins a 100-long list of non-zero doubles, making up a sine wave. I have checked that this fil actually contains what i think it does via Matlab and work collegues checking it out for me!

The problem is that what gets printed to the screen is 100 doubles. But only the first 12 are from test.y, and the rest are all 0.00

Does anybody see a mistake in my code? It must be something so stupid that I'm blind to it!!

Thanks in advance,

Deebee

It's okay everybody! Crisis averted..

the second fopen param should have been "rb" the b being for binary!!!
stoopid mistake!

In the future please remember to use the CODE tags around your blocks of code.

Thanks
