    Need some help with file i/o

    I will be dealing with unsigned long long ints as an array of type char[8]. I need it to skip 0-5 as these are reserved characters. After the first 0-5 skip every 0 and mark it with a 1 to mean write out the next 8 bytes(9 bytes total are written). Example if this is fread : 09842658 then output will be :109842658 But if the first number is not a 0 then proceed to encode it: output = 98042658 = 6 and I need it to add a digit to the encode every time it gets to a new power of two, example if the last two chars in the array and skipping over the zeros of the first six: (array element 0,0,0,0,0,0,10)then output = 07 How could I go about this? I do not know what I am doing, I read a lot and thought I knew how to go about this but started to write code and had writer's block. I just can't seem to be able to start coding this and I don't know how to do this. Thank you.

    so that every even number from that starting point will be encoded.

    Those types are incompatible. What do you mean?

    You need to back up, maybe take a deep breath, and describe WHAT you're trying to do here. S-L-O-W-L-Y and carefully explain it.
