[RESOLVED] File size in standard way

Hi all,

One of my application I used MFC(actually CFile) to find the file size in easy way.

Now I thought to do it using standard C++. Here is my try.

Code:

---

        size_t file_size;
        ifstream in_file;

        in_file.open("C:\\temo_file.txt", ios_base::in);

        if(in_file.is_open())
        {
                file_size = in_file.seekg(-1, ios_base::end).tellg();
                cout << file_size;
        }

---

My question is, this code gives misses one byte. Can you guys give me any reason for it.

Thanks

Why you have '-1'?

Code:

---

file_size = in_file.seekg(-1, ios_base::end).tellg();

ya, I got it. It should be 0. :)
