Hi,
I have the following piece of code. I do the following here
1)open a file.
2) Print the filepointer positon . I get 0
3)Read the file in a while loop till i reach the end
4)close the file
5)Open the same file
6) Print the file pointer position I get -1.( I expect 0 here)
Can anyone let me know the reason for this error and how is it possible to avoid this.
Thanking you in advance

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int OpenFile(fstream &fileHandle, char * fileName)
{
cout << "Opening File" << endl;
int success = true;
// Open the file and read the data
fileHandle.open(fileName, ios::in|ios::binary);
// Check if the file is present
if (!fileHandle.is_open())
{
// File is not present. Log the information
cout << "OpenFile::Error opening file "<< endl;
success = false;
}
return success;
}
int ReadFile(char *buf, fstream &file)
{
while(!file.eof())
{
file.read(buf, 1024);
}
}
int main()
{
fstream file;
OpenFile(file, "1.mpg");
cout << "tellg " << file.tellg()<< endl;
char buf[1024];
ReadFile(buf,file);
file.close();
//file = new ifstream();
OpenFile(file, "1.mpg");
cout << "tellg " << file.tellg()<< endl;
return 1;
}
