Can anyone help with the syntax for this????????

Well it's like this

Only you use read() instead of write()
And you open the file for input.
If you want to know how many array elements to allocate, and all the unions in the file are the same size, then just divide the file size by the sizeof() of the union.
Then use the new operator to allocate some memory (see past posts ad-nauseum)
