Setting file position problem

[MrPickle]

First I open the file then scan through it to find out how big 2 arrays need to be then I set the position back to the begining with std::ifstream:: seekg( std::iostream:: beg ); but it doesn't seem to set the position if the last line's a new line?

Why is this and how can I make it set the position to the beginning even if the last line's a new line?

Here's my code:

Hi,
I'm not sure this will help, but try opening the file with the ios::binary flag. I think there are some problems with newline characters that go away when you do that.

Why don't you read some data into a buffer and then append the buffer to a vector. By the time you've read the file to find the array size, you could have already built the array.

I assume you are really using vectors and not primitive arrays.
