Thread: reading a file into a block

Hello,
I've done this:

Code:

	long size;
	ifstream file (name, ios::ate);	//open and go at the end	
	size = file.tellg();	
        char* _buffer = new char [size];	
	//memset( _buffer, 0, size ); //without this strange there are characters
	file.seekg (0, ios::beg);
	file.read (_buffer, size);
        cout << _buffer << endl;
        file.close;
        delete[] _buffer;

Problem is when I print it: some strange chars (that there aren't in the file) occurs at the end of the _buffer; Why? How can I avoid this? What wrong?
