reading files

[Pyramus]

I'm trying to read a file using:

TCHAR buf[1024];
String sFile;

while (_fgetts(buf,1024,f) != NULL)
{
sFile += String(buf);
}

The file I am reading is an encrypted file, (which I have encrypted), so it contains lots of weird ascii characters.

The code above is not reading in the entire file, but stopping before the end. Any ideas why?

If you are trying to put your file into a buffer it might be better to read it caracter by caracter.

Here is an example:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<iostream.h>
#define _MAXBUFF_ 4096

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
FILE *fp;
if(( fp = fopen( &quot;filename&quot;, &quot;r&quot; )) == NULL )
{
fputs(&quot; can't open the file \&quot;filename\&quot;&quot;, stderr);
exit(0);
}
char Buffer[_MAXBUFF_];
char c;
int i = 0;
while(( c = getc( fp )) != EOF && i < _MAXBUFF_ )
{
Buffer = c;
i++;
}
for( int j = 0; j < i; j++ )
cout<<Buffer[j];
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}

In order to make it work you need to repalce &quot;filename&quot; with the name of any valid file.
