Getting file length with fstream?

Ok... I'm opening up a file using fstream class.... but once its open.... how do i get the file size/length? In good 'ol VB there was the "LOF" ... but I'm not seeing any member functions in the fstream class that get the file length.

Code:

---

        fstream file;

        file.open("C:\\file.txt", ios::in | ios::binary, filebuf::sh_none);
        char *buff = new char[LOF];
        file.read(buff, LOF);
        file.close();

---

but i want to replace the LOF's with "file.LOF()" or however im supposed to get the file length..

oh come on, someones gotta know! :(

Code:

---

fstream file;

file.open("C:\\file.txt", ios::in | ios::binary, filebuf::sh_none);
file.seekg(SEEK_END, 0);

char *buff = new char[file.tellg()];

file.seekg(SEEK_SET, 0);

file.read(buff, LOF);
file.close();

...or something ;)

Ya, I ended up figuring it out..... mine looks very similar to yours......

Code:

---

        file.open("C:\\file.txt", ios::in | ios::binary, filebuf::sh_none);
        file.seekg(0, ios::end);
        LOF = file.tellg();
        file.seekg(0, ios::beg);
        //char *buff = new char[LOF];
        //file.read(buff, LOF);
        file.close();
        //delete [] buff;

Whoops, messed up on the SEEK_SET...those are for fseek in the C Library, sorry :eek: :)

The ios::* ones are right...
