    initializing hex?

    so right now i am reading in four characters at a time from my input file. my problem happens when there is only one character to read. I need to initialize these other three characters so they don't print out anything, but right now they are initializing to hex values "-52," each one of them. I tried making them zero, but i don't think that's what i want, because it still is printing out zeros in the hex editor. is there a way to initialize these characters so they don't print anything, zeroes or otherwise?

    post some code. I'm not sure I understand you. You want to read 4 chars but ignore 3 of the 4?

    they are initializing to hex values "-52,"
    Is that a hex value ? Do you mean "52" ?

    Since dont know what you've done so far it's a bit hard to help out. Maybe this example helps out - http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/iostream/istream/read.html
