Hi,
The call of istream::tellg() on an input file stream causes a move of
the actual reading position. This seems to happen in connection with the
use of istream::get(char).
Test program:------------------------------------------------------
#include<fstream.h>
void main()
{
ifstream fileS("mbinput.txt");
char c;
streampos pos;
while (fileS)
{
fileS.get(c);
if (c=='=') {pos=fileS.tellg();};
cout << c;
};
cin >> c;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
On the first ocurrence of '=' in "mbinput.txt" the current read position
jumps forwards some characters. Is this a bug?
Thanks for help (if possible as email to me)
Boris.
