Ok I use fread to read a file.

    
// This works.

char data[1000];

fread(data, sizeof(data), 1, stream);

// This does not?!?

char *data;
int length;

length = 1000;
data = new (char[length]);
fread(data, sizeof(data), 1, stream);

Anyone know what I did wrong with the second one? ------------------------------------------------------------ I wrote the best video game ever, then I woke up...

Replace the line:

fread(data, sizeof(data), 1, stream);

with

fread(data, length, 1, stream);

I''ll suggest to use



    fread(data, sizeof(char), length, stream);

since ''sizeof(data)'' is equal to ''sizeof(char *)'' in the second case!
