Do you use MFC's CStdioFile class to read the file? With type set to CFile::modeText ?

hee i juz used the codes i use for writing C programs...
fread,, fopen,, all those,,,,,,,

CStdioFile is just a wrapper around those.

Since you're reading a text file, you don't want the binary fread and fwrite, but rather the text io fgets, fputs, fprintf and fscanf.
Open the file with
fopen(filename, "?t");
where ? is the access you want (r,a,w,r+,a+,w+).
Then you can use the 4 functions, look them up in the reference.

The C++ file streams can handle text files too. Don't pass the ios_base::binary flag to open and you'll be fine.

Windows files can't handle text files correctly - they will not convert \r\n to \n. Neither does MFC CFile, which is just a wrapper around windows files.

This is why there is the CStdioFile class. Derived from CFile, this class doesn't use windows files but rather C files. You can pass CFile::modeText to Open in order to open a file in text mode. Then you can call ReadString or WriteString for i/o.
