    Try
    Code:
    nessave.setf(ios::hex);
    while (!nessave.eof())
       nessave.get(mychar);

    ios::hex i believe is the correct parameter....as far as one character at a time, that may be difficult since hex is like this: E0A4B3

    so you may want to toy with that...especially cause 12345678 is hex too.

    hex

    Yes but surely if i read one char from the file "!" wouldnt it read it as "21" then?

    Wait, what am I talking about
    Open the file as ifstream nessave("C:/ff1/ff1.ss0", ios::in | ios::binary); and simply read a char in using nessave.get(). Loop until eof is read.

    There, done. Your char can represent from 0 to 0xFF.
    If you read in '!', you can either work with it as 0x21, or 33.

    You make it sound so easy. how do i use get() and should it be a char or int?

    Its simple. Open the file in binary mode. Then use ifstream::get() to read a char. Do something like this before you print it:

    cout.setf(ios::hex | ios::showbase | ios::uppercase);
    cout << static_cast<int>(my_char_that_i_read);

    It's all in how you work with it.
