I edited and used following code from an internet source. im having trouble with the commented line (TBitstream=fgetc(fp). aparently fgetc is used for integers. what should i type instead to cin.getline(Tbitstream)..


cout<<"Enter Filename To Input Bitstream From: ";
char * filename = new char [100];
FILE *fp;
gets(filename);
if((fp=fopen(filename,"rb"))==NULL)
{
cout<<"FILE DOES NOT EXIST"<<endl;
exit(1);
}
char * TBitstream = new char [2000];
//TBitstream=fgetc(fp);
fclose(fp);

Try reading your docs. Makes a helluva difference. fgetc returns an integer representing a character or status. Since you're programming C++, you might want to explore C++ mechanisms, also.

If you want to read a line, use fgets. If you want to read some binary data, use fread.

How about looking into fstreams...
