Binary files read newline (help)

I have a binary file which contains two numbers

1.2345
157

both number are separated with a newline.

When I read it back in to retieve the data I cannot get my orignal data back, I get a strange number.
Please help.

infile.read(buffer,4);

while(!infile.eof())
{

y = (double *) &buffer[0];
infile.read(buffer,4);
z = *y;


}
unsigned int x = (unsigned int)floor(z);
cout << z <<"|"<< x << endl;

infile.close();

If that is an example of the data your binary file has, then it is not a binary file in the sense that that data is not the binary represenation of those numbers. If your numbers are seperated by a new line, why not simply do infile >> mynumber; in a loop until you hit EOF?

Sorry I meant the binary file generated contains those numbers, but when you look at the file it is garbage characters like i.e.
