how to check the end of file?

how to check the end of a txt file??

Code:

if(file.eof()){.....}

???


thank you for helping~~~

oh.......that's correct, but how to move back to the begin of file???

fseek

well error found cos i think i open the file using

Code:

ifstream file(.......)

is there any other method?

seekg!

thank you ... i have use the seekg function and i have also use tellg and it said that the position is zero.

but when i use getline to get the character, the character is empty.

what is the problem??

Code:

if(file7.eof())
	{						cout << "eof" << endl;				cout << file7.tellg() << endl;
	file7.seekg(0);
	file7.getline(RFQ,14);
	cout << "||" << RFQ << "||" <<endl;
	file7.seekg(0);
	cout << file7.tellg() << endl;
	}
	if (file7.eof())
	{
	cout << "again!!!" << endl;
	}

out put:

eof
0
||||
0
again!!

Code:

if(file7.eof())
	{						cout << "eof" << endl;				cout << file7.tellg() << endl;
	file7.seekg(0);

Here you could try adding a clear():
file7.clear();

instead of
file7.seekg(0);

you could try
file.seekg(0, ios::beg)

to explicitly indicate you want to go back to beginning of file.

Are you sure there is anything in the file?
