Hello.
I'm moving from Visual C++ 6.0 to Visual C++ .NET 2003 and I saw the
changes to the streams. I'm rewriting my code and finished doing it
yesterday.
All seemed to be right, but the file reading.
My old code has lines like the following function call:
(file is a ifstream, var is a WORD, that is a typedef unsigned sort)
here is the line:
file.read(&var, 2)
Well, when this line is executed, the results are not what I'm looking
for: it reads inconsistent (arbitrary?) data. In my old code this line
worked. It is supposed to read 2 bytes from the file and asign them to
the WORD in var.
For this reason, I think that Visual C++ 6.0 and .NET 2003 has some
slight differences for reading in the way I want to read.
Maybe I'm not properly using the function. I mean... maybe I don't
understand well the mechanism in C++ to read BYTES, WORDS, DWORDS
UWORDS, etc.
So I request your help and would be thankful is someboy teach me about
reading using standar C++ streams in this .NET 2003.
Thank you very much.

Are you opening the file in text mode (without ios::binary flag) by any
chance? What you see may be caused by CRLF to \n translation.

Whops! I solved the problem, it's because I was reading the wrong
position in the file and that explains why the reads was incoherent!
(By the way, I was using ios::binary | ios::in)

Dear there,
We have an x-ray CT system. The acquisition computer acquires x-ray
projections and outputs multiple data files in binary format (2-byte
unsigned integer) such as projection0.raw, projection1.raw,
projection2.raw ... up to projection500.raw. Each file is
2*1024*768-byte big.
I would like to read those files and convert to ascii files in %5.0f/n
format as projection0.data ... projection500.data so that our

I have been having a very peculiar issue from a long time.
I have an application where multiple clients read from a shared set of

the old data (if it was read earlier) and this is causing data
corruption. WinNT clients inlcuding windows2000 & XP do not have this
issue. The program is complied in VC++, console mode.
I am unable to understand the cause. I flush the...

Hi,
currently I am reading a huge (about 10-100 MB) text-file line by line
using
fstreams and getline. I wonder whether there is a faster way to read a
file line by line (with std::string line). Is there some way to burst
read the whole file and later "extract" each line?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Kowalski
