Hi,
I need help filling out an _iobuf (FILE) object so that I can read from any allocated buffer with the standard fread() and fscanf() functions. Is there a way to do this which works on any platform? A friend of mine had a try at it but it ended up working on some systems and failing on others.
Tanks in advance
>filling out an _iobuf (FILE) object
Through the standard interface. You're not supposed to know or care about the internals of the thing that your FILE pointer points to.

setbuf is what you are looking for, perhaps?
My best code is written with the delete key.
Ahhh, thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for. I have been posting on another forum trying to get that kind of answer, but everyone just said "You can't do that".
I knew it must be possible. Thanks again.
>but everyone just said "You can't do that".
The list of things you can't do with C is extremely short, and goofing around with the standard library isn't one of them.
