Binary IOStreams

[Guest]

No doubt this is another noobish kinda inquiry but here goes.

Is it possible or even desired to use IOStreams (in my case, out of academic
interest, network sockets) in a binary fashion? Right now it seems as I pull
single elements out of the stream ('>>') I"m not getting white space.

Of course it is.

Open your stream specifying std::ios::binary.

Open your stream specifying std::ios::binary.

btw, generally shift operators are used for formatted i/o and different
functions are used for (unformatted) binary input/output.

Use the unformatted i/o functions, such as read and write, rather than the shift
operators.
