I have been attempting to write a function to open an AVI file. However, I have had this particular aggravation which is stopping me. I open the file by using ifstream("mmm.avi",ios::binary); However, I cannot even read anything! Anything I test for EOF (using ifstream::eof()) it reports that the EOF is at the beginning of the file, and the location of the pointer at the stream is zero! What is even more strange is that if I open the file as text, it works perfectly. Any suggestions? (I can't post my code here because it is in a mess.) -- Wei-shi Tsai Cymbeline on #descent, Kahn, and ICQ(UIN:2801023) The Lost Material Defender Page: http://www.crosswinds.net/dallas/~perdita/index.html MoonieCode(1.8.11): SM:5+ F:sMe++>Mo+>:vZo:aLu+Ry+:pClR2 D:sMa<:vBe-Wi-> X:a0s|35d++ O:d+:s?:?o?:a--:h--- P:a+:s6:w-:f?:eBrD:hBkm:t-:cAs:y---:r+|
