FILE*

[joeGrammar]

I want to compare the value of a file pointer after subsequent operations. I have a situation where I have a FILE* as a private member of a class and it doesn't seem to be retaining its value between member functions. So:

How do I display the value of a file pointer?

Well joe, I'd just write

FILE* x;
cout << x;

which displays the hex value of x.

Sorry I wasn't being clear, this stuff was written in C so I have to use printf, I can't use cout.

Then how about

FILE* x;
printf(&quot;%x&quot;,x);
