Re: [Dev-C++] file.read() dosn't read all it should read

[Alfred P. R. <al...@ya...>]

The other thing is file mode, text vs. binary.  If you open the file in
text mode, and you get an EOF character, the read will terminate,
however you can read lines of text.  In binary mode, EOF is just
another character.  I forget offhand which is the default open mode.

The sites of pertinence are Microsoft's header library documentation:

 and C++ I/O:
