Reading Float from file

In C++, you can use a file stream object and the member function read(). In C, I suppose you use would fread(), as you mentioned.

You might take a look at this (remember to watch out for endian-ness issues).

Thanks for the reply. I did look at the lil eindian issue and it is in lil order.
What I did not add in my post with it there in my mind the whole time is that it must be IEEE format. The float to read first is ( in file order ) 00 00 3f 80.

I have been googleing for a bit but many c examples, well, I am probably old and such but I do not use classes and such, simple function calls no call::this->for me :(

I figure it must be a neg number since the high bit is set but I have a hard time finding info or understanding what I find.

That looks like it's a 1.0 float (0x3f800000), but the byte order is off if so, are you sure you're not offset wrongly or something?

Just need sleep, too many irons ....

it is 00 00 80 3f sorry.

Thanks for the reply - I have found more information and am beginning to see some connections, Thanks for all the help, I do apprec.
