Problem executing C program in Visual C++ 6.0

Hello,

I've been having problems running the following C program for reading binary file in Visual C++ 6.0. But if I run the same program in Borland C++ 5.02, there's no problem reading the binary file and the correct output is displayed.

I want to read a binary file consists of 50x50 dimension of data as the following:

my data:

00000000000000000...
00000000000000000...
00000000000000000...
00000000000000000...
00000000000000000...
00000011111100000...
00000011111100000...
00000111000111000...
00001101110110000...
00001100011000000...
00000000000000000...
.....
....

my code:

Errors produced for different binary files are "Cannot open file input" or the file is opened but there is no data read and displayed on the screen, the image size displayed is 52, -1.

It seems that the program cannot detect the correct row and columns of the characters data there's no data saved into the 2-dim array.

In order to make the program works in Visual C++ 6.0, I have to open the binary file manually, place the cursor at the end of the file and save it again. After that I run the program again, only then the data can be read and displayed correctly...

What went wrong?How can I modify the program so that it can works in Visual C++ 6.0 correctly as in Borland C++ 5.02?

Thanks in advance

for starters, this is wrong

Code:

---

                        ch=&c;
                        var=atoi(ch);

---

atoi expects a null-terminated string, which the above is not. all you need to do is this (which may not work on all operating systems, but it does in MS-Windows and *nix.

Code:

---

    var = c - '0';

Read the FAQ as to why using feof() to control loops is bad.

Also, you say the file is "binary", but the way you're handling the data suggests that it is merely a text file full of '0' and '1' characters with the occasional newline. If you load the file into a text editor, do you see the pattern you posted here (or a bunch of weirdness)?


> int temp[ROWMAX][COLMAX];
I see no point for this variable, you may as well read into the image array.

Also, you should compare your array subscripts in readImage with ROWMAX and COLMAX to make sure you're not overflowing the array.
