Getting file length with fstream?

[AlbafaN]

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.

	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..

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......

	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

The ios::* ones are right...
