Binary reading/writing in cpp

kornerr · 11-26-2005, 10:28 PM

How will this look in cpp:

Code:

FILE *f;
fwrite (&version, sizeof (MapVersion), 1, f);
fread (&version, sizeof (MapVersion), 1, f);

?

I know that I can use c in cpp, but I want to know how to do binary reading/writing in cpp.

Thanks.

I have never needed to use it, but there is a binary flag in IOS....

so it would probably be somthing like

Code:

ofstream outfile ("out.bin", ios:: out | ios::app | ios::binary);
ifstream infile ("in.bin", ios::in | ios::binary | ios::ate);

you should search on streams before using this as I never have
