Message: [QUOTE="Franz Jeitler, post: 2438995"] Hello, I have some problems with fread.. first, let's see a part of the source file: FILE *fp; char buf[512]; size_t nread; .. .. while( nread = fread(buf,1,sizeof(buf),fp) ) fwrite(buf,1,nread,stdout); The code above is working fine, it returns a desired file on the screen. Now the problem: ------------------ For a file server I need to give back a structure like: < strcpy(result.text, buf) >; For easier understanding, temporary I can also write: < fprintf(stdout, buf) > instead of < fwrite(buf,1,nread,stdout) >. But now at the end of each part of the file I get some strange characters and the last block continues again with the first lines of the file. So, why does this happen and how can I solve the problem? Thank's Franz [/QUOTE]
