the mystery of streams

[AMosmann]

Can anyone give me a way how to use streams?

I program MVC++ for 2 month, used streams from time to time but:

sometimes the compiler doesnt find the functions (no matching overlad ...) seems it depends on the sequence of the includes

now I try to use >> operator with strings like stream >> cstring.GetBuffer(cstring.GetLength()) and it doesnt write into the file (in spite of close)

everytime I use the help there is nearly nothing explained

Can you tell me a plainly direction how to use streams (and CStrings with them?)

Many thanks, I hate blind trying with lots of possibilities

Greetings Andreas

I'll start by saying that the stream classes are a part of the standard C++ library, while CString is a part of MFC. They just don't work together very well. I advise you to go with std::basic_string<TCHAR> intstead.

But if you really want to use CString, you'd have to read using istream::read.

_{I REALLY hope that helps.}
