subject: Fread problem

Hi Karl,

KC>When i do multiple fread in a file, the position of the file isn't updated.

It is in all the compilers I've used.

KC>Why? What should i do to correct this? Thanks in advance.

If you show us the code that is giving the problem including the file
open, preferably in a compileable excerpt, then we can tell you.

One obvious thought is:- have you opened the file in "append" mode? If
so the file pointer is updated by the reads, but all writes go to the
end of the file (as specified by the open mode) and it appears at first
inspection as a compiler bug when in fact it's a programmer error.

George
