Cfile seek problem

[Premalm]

Hi Guys,

Here is my code. I have 4 rows in a file. I have opened the file using CFILE Open and then I am using CArchive to ReadString from the file. When I do a SeektoBegin it should go to the top of the file and then when I do a ReadString it should read the first row. Instead it shows me the last row. I have tried using Seek but the same result. I want to move the file position as and when I want. Any suggestions ?

if(ArTempINDFile.ReadString(EntireStringA)==FALSE)
{
CheckingDups=FALSE;
break;
}
ArTempINDFile.ReadString(EntireStringA);
MessageBox(EntireStringA);
ArTempINDFile.ReadString(EntireStringA);
MessageBox(EntireStringA);

TempSortedFile.SeekToBegin();

ArTempINDFile.ReadString(EntireStringA);
MessageBox(EntireStringA);

Thanks
Premal

I have never looked into this subject but I will guess that the CArchive object maintains it’s own file postion and therefore is not effected by the CFile functions.

You might be using the CArchive object in a way that was not intended and therefore not supported.
