stringstream vs ifstream - one BIG difference

[Dmitri Zhukov]

Hi all,

I've found out a difference between stringstream and ifstream objects:

stringstream::getline() will include \r (13) character
ifstream::getline won't include \r

I wonder how come. Is it prescribed behavior?

stringstream::getline() will include \r (13) character
ifstream::getline won't include \r

fstream objects when not in binary mode does translation of line ending
conventions of the operating system. Other streams don't do that.

Did you open your ifstream in ios::binary mode. If so, then I think it
should also contain the \r. Now I haven't tried this, so someone please
correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Cool. Thank u.
