@ccfc: I'm sorry, but writing a textual "end of file" is a trash approach to the condition. You're not alone, however. Even MS, in their "text" mode, use content (ctrl-Z) to form an "end of file" character.

The problem with this approach, aside from being unnecessary, is that one now has an entity that has to be dealt with in the case of appends. See the MS docs for the caveats.

EOF is a condition. The various library functions deal with it and make its presence known in various ways. Use those and other people will know how to deal with your code. It's a professional thing.

@null_ptr: Please do not just repeat previous responses. The OP is writing in C++; there's no good reason, in this case, to strain at a gnat and use C comparison functions. We get it that you're an 11-year old genius, okay?

Silly me, I thought we were in the C++ forum.

edit: Pardon my speed, read the whole thing and replied without refreshing!

Dawei - Thanks for your help. I realize what i did wrong - and i corrected my mistake. I completely forgot that i can test for such a thing without doing what i did. So once again - thanks again for the help.

Cheers all.
