Hi,

I'm more ore less starting to use C++ with VC5.0. Can anyone tell me how to read in (and convert to integers) a specific number of bytes from a binary file using CFile?

Thanks alot

I would use CFile::Read

char buffer[NUM_BYTES];
CFile myFile;
myFile.Open("Filename",CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareDenyWrite);

myFile.Read(buffer,NUM_BYTES);

buffer now has the number of bytes you want.

Sorry... to convert the integers you can use the function

int x = atoi(buffer);

if buffer is not in base 10 I belive you will want to look into strtol(buffer,base);
