ok i have a file defined as so 00 00 00 01 02 01 01 01 01 now i open the file the following way ifstream fin("data.dat"); ofstream fout("data1.txt");

        
while (!fin.eof())
{
     fin<<a;
     fout>>a;
}
fin.close();
fout.close();
        

now when i go to open my output file data.txt all i get is 1 zero in the top left corner and i dont know why? also im using msvc5++ on win98 Edited by - omegasyphon on 7/20/00 2:48:58 PM

What are you trying to do? Do you want to fill data1.txt with what's in data.dat? If so, then you shouldn't be using cin or cout. You should be doing:

    fin << a;fout >> a;

    ifstream fin("data.dat");ofstream fout("data1.txt");int a;fin >> dec;while (!fin.eof()){   fin >> a;   fout << a;}fin.close();fout.close();

well i forgot to say that im trying to read in the data.dat file and load it into an array of 3x3 but right now im just doing testing to get my algorithm working to read it into an array and display it in my data.txt file to see if it works

[source]
ifstream fin("data.dat");
int array[3][3];
fin >> dec;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
for (int k = 0; k < 3; k++)
{
fin >> dec[k];
}
}
fin.close();

how does the array[3][3] fit into your code and also what does fin>>dec do when u add it before the loop?
