problems reading binary file

[stav]

hello
I'm trying to read the first 6 bytes of a file, but its giving me wired results and i cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong.

this is my code, that reads the file:

struct Block
{
	char fileSize[3];
	char initialDataBlockId[3];
};

int main(int c, char** a)
{
	
	ifstream file("C\\main_file_cache.idx0", ios::binary);

	Block block;
	
	file.get((char*)&block,sizeof(block));

	printf("File Size: %i\n", block.fileSize);
	printf("Initial Data Block ID: %i\n", block.initialDataBlockId);


	file.close();

	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

before i ran the code, i opened the file in a binary editor,
and it showed me this (hex):

00 00 00 00-00 00 05 af-4b 00 00 01-26 df cd 00
00 6f 03 3f-ed 00 03 61-05 08 35 00-04 8b 01 61
59 00 08 39-03 23 0a 00-05 6c 00 35-d0 00 06 fe
03 69 d8 00-07 19

there is a total of 54 bytes and as you can see the first 6 bytes are just 0.

so i expected to my program to output:

File Size: 0
Initial Data Block ID: 0

but instead it outputted this:

File Size: 10419128
Initial Data Block ID: 10419131

which makes no sense...
im guessing, maybe, there is something wrong with my code?

could someone help me please? :)

(it wouldn't let me post this under general c++, so i'm positing it here instead, i'm sorry if this result in a dupe post)

Hello stav,

On line 14 try file.read and see if that works.

Hope that helps,

Andy

Please DON'T post multiple threads on the same topic. It wastes everyone's time, including your own.

C\\main_file_cache.idx0

should be:

C:\\main_file_cache.idx0 //what's the idx0 extension anyway?
