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.
