Noob: needs help with file I/O

Hi all,

I'm having a prob with loading a file into an array.

I'm fine with opening the file but when it come to the fread command i seem to be failing as the document size will be variable, so how can i state a file size as "num_of_elements".

if this is not clear, then my basic idea is:

i want to open a file in 128 bit chunks and load it into an array so i can perform function on the array. Thats about it.

I would provide code, but i've butchered it that much it aint much use.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers.

Code:

---

char buff[128];
while ( fread ( buff, sizeof buff, 1, in ) == 1 ) {
  // got a 128 byte buff
}

---

Did you remember to open the file in binary mode?

cheers for the reply,

yeah I have opened the file using the identifiers "rb" so should be operating in binary mode.

Will take a look at implementing the code when i get chance.

Many thanks
