unsigned short- how to read from binary data??

[superworm]

If someone can write me how to read with fscanf function value from the binary file, if it is unsigned short. An example. please. I urgently need that. I know how to do that in matlab, but c++ is a little different. it probably look at this way:

FILE* f = fopen("example.bin", "rb");
fseek(f, a_place_in_bin_file, SEEK_END);
unsigned short usNumber;
fscanf(f, "%u", &usNumber);
printf("%u", usNumber);

but somewhere is a mistake, I do not know how to properly declare the variable and type of data to read. I hope you understand me..thanks..

I read this and I still need an example,please..

fscanf doesn't read binary data, it reads textual data.

If you want to read binary data, use fread.

To read a short:

unsigned short foo;
fread(&foo,1,sizeof(foo),f);
printf("%u",foo);

Of course the above code is not endian safe, but it's a start!

I still have a problem with reading data. I can not believe some data type works, some will not. I searched the internet and I don't know where is the mistake and why I get some stupid values..huge values. this is my code:

rewind (f);
	fseek(f,iPos[0],SEEK_SET);
	unsigned short foo;
	fread(&foo,1,sizeof(foo),f);
	printf("%d\n",foo);      /*this code does not work I get a 4110 instead of 3600*/
	unsigned char foo1;
        fread(&foo1,1,sizeof(foo1),f);
	printf("%u\n",foo1);/* this code works fine*/

where is mistake? endian?
My code only works for unsigned char type, for any other type of data i get some stupid values..i need this quickly please..thanks..
