is there a way to check if an object is of type istream or ifstream.
sizeof() doesnt work as both are size 64.
are there any methods (member functions) used for checking ?
ANY ideas are welcome.
thank you! Avendeval

ifstream ifs;

if (typeid(ifs)==typeid(ifstream)) cout << &quot;is ifstream&quot;; :) Hope that this helped! ;-)
