[Dev-C++] reading a binary file

[Alan T. <ala...@3n...>]

Lorenzo,

        I get exactly the same results from your code and mine.  It =
still does not appear to be right.  I don`t understand.  A character =
occupies a byte, so I should be seeing each individual byte.

        Anybody know what is going on?
                                                                   =
Thanks, Alan

I have try this code:

    #include <fstream>

    using namespace std;

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
      char c;
      int byte_no =3D 0;

      ifstream in("test.xls", ios::in | ios::binary);
      if (!in.is_open())
      {
        cerr << "error open file" << endl;
        return 1;
      }

      while (in.get(c))
      {
        if ((byte_no >=3D 0) && (byte_no <=3D 7))
             cout << endl << "byte " << byte_no << " is " <<
(short)(unsigned char)c << endl;
        byte_no++;
      }
      in.close();

      return 0;
    }

and display the exact value of the excel file, try again !
