reading any file

[eman ahmed]

hi,all

I'm new to c++ and I want to read any file byte byte and then get the ASCII code fore each file.

I searched in Google and also search this forum but I couldn't find any thing useful.

that's what I did until now but unfourtonatly it doesn't works.

istream myfil("F:\\2nd year_2\\Data structure 2\\books\\New Text Document");
char ch;
myfil.get(ch);
cout<<(int )ch<<endl;	 

negative number will be printed and when I casted it to unsigned int,it will very big number greater than 256

Thanks in advance

Make sure the file was actually opened:

if(myfile.is_open())
