reading/writing binary files using << / >>

[exercisephiend]

I am new to C++ and want to learn about binary files.

I am trying to write/read to a binary file using the insertion/extraction operators. I would like for the functions to be in the class itself. I am writing the data to the binary file and then choosing which object I want to read from the file. The data will be different lengths.

Thanks for any help.

I am using OOC++, and I am a beginner at C++.

No. I haven't received a reply since now. I just moved on, but I would like to know how to solve the issue.

Thanks,

OOC++

Wait, so there's a NOO C++, now?

What you're trying to do is not exactly easy. Not for a beginner, anyway.
Google serialization, that's what it's called when you convert an in-memory data structure, such as an object, into a stream of bytes, such as a file, and viceversa.
