No. There is no operator defined in C to read files. (You have to use an external library, such as a unix kernel or a POSIX library). In the case of C++ there is some standard library defined, but not to read files, just to read sequences of bytes. So you could argue that it as some worth for that, but my files are very rarely sequences of bytes... -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/
