the memory is not pure

[mickey]

memblock = new char [size];
ifile.seekg (0, ios::beg);
ifile.read (memblock, size);
out.write (memblock, size);

Hi, when I write, file linked to out fstream, at the end, contain some caracters, that there aren't in the input file...... how avoid that caracters?
thanks

That is probably because "size" is bigger than the actual file size...
When you allocate memblock, it will contain some (rubbish) data(since you don't initialize it-e.g. memset, etc ).

When you read from the input file, the first "size" bytes in memblock will be overwritten with data from the file, but the rest will remain.

How do you compute "size" anyway?

int size;
size = ifile.tellg();

Querying the file pointer after you first open the file will return 0.

Try this:

ifile.seekg( -1, ios_base::end );


If this does not work, could you compare the size with the actual file size?
