Thread: fstream access issue, I think

Hello,
My fstream.operator!() keeps coming up true right after opening the file.

The path is valid and, as far as I know, my application should have access to it.

In other words, why does this

Code:

std::fstream fs(fpath.c_str(), std::ios::binary);
if(!fs) throw std::string("Bad file path.");

Keep throwing for me, regardless of what file fpath specifies? I'm running this in Vista, and I have the application set to run under administrator privileges.

Not a stupid reply. I was just being silly.
I thought flags = arg | default, but flags = arg. That does make more sense.

Thanks, that fixed it.
