Thread: Help with ifstream read plz

I have written to a binary file using the following

Code:

m_fpFileOut.open(szFilename,ios::out|ios::binary|ios::app);

m_fpFileOut.write((char *) &m_wHeader,sizeof(trUInt16));
m_fpFileOut.write((char *) &m_kDate.m_bDay,sizeof(trUInt8));
m_fpFileOut.write((char *) &m_kDate.m_bMonth,sizeof(trUInt8));
m_fpFileOut.write((char *) &m_kDate.m_wYear,sizeof(trUInt16));

The file looks like what I expect but when I try to read in the file using:

Code:

m_fpCallData.read((char *) &m_wHeader,sizeof(trUInt16));
m_fpCallData.read((char *) &m_kDate.m_bDay,sizeof(trUInt8));
m_fpCallData.read((char *) &m_kDate.m_bMonth,sizeof(trUInt8));
m_fpCallData.read((char *) &m_kDate.m_wYear,sizeof(trUInt16));
printf(">%d<\n",m_wHeader);
printf(">%d<\n",m_kDate.m_bDay);
printf(">%d<\n",m_kDate.m_bMonth);
printf(">%d<\n",m_kDate.m_wYear);

m_wHeader get populated correctly but the others remain at the values that I initialized them with.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

I had a failure earlier on when trying to open files and the fial bit was set. Forgot to reset it.
