hello friends,
can't retrieve date stored in file using tfilestream.tfilestream is used for both reading and writing onto files.
writing is done as " temp->write((char *)ext, sizeof(ext))" (sorry for not using case sensitivity...)
where ext is defined as class.
the date mamber of class is "char date[15]" and "td" is tdatetime pointer.
used : "strcpy(date,td->CurrentDate().datestring().c_str())"
every other class members are easily retrievable...but not date...
is there any other way to store and retrieve from files....plz do help....

Also, does the class/struct look ok in the de{*word*81}?

characters to hold the data, but the string returned by the DateString()
method can potentially returns a lot more characters than 15, depending on
your machine's locale settings.
