Re: Re: File input problem

Hi

I too checked out & I'm also getting the same problem. It looks so
silly. The problem is inFile.good() is returning 1 eventhough end of file
has reached. Thus inFile.get() is reading the extra character. The
character that's being read is DEL (Control Character). I'd expect
inFile.good() to return 0 if the next character would return
end-of-file. But that's not happening here. I tried with feof() & got the
same result.

I dunno what I'm missing here. Let me know if u find the answer.
