How to read a file in multiple chunks until EOF (C++)

Question

So, here\'s my problem: I want to make a program that reads chunks of data from a file. Let\'s say, 1024 bytes per chunk. So I read the first 1024 bytes, perform various operati

I think you missed up that there is a pointer points to the last place you've visit in the file , so that when you read for the second time you will not start from the first , but from the last point you've visit . Have a look to this code

std::ifstream fin("C:\\file.txt");
char buffer[1024]; //I prefer array more than vector for such implementation

fin.read(buffer,sizeof(buffer));//first read get the first 1024 byte

fin.read(buffer,sizeof(buffer));//second read get the second 1024 byte

so that how you may think about this concept .
