Hi Mirek

Quote:

You can use StringStream.

Thank you.

Quote:

maybe only the output is what we need there, right?

Yes, I consider string to be an outstream. String could also get a saveAs() function, then the FileOut would even get obsolete, for text.

Quote:

The FileOut have got a Put(), but do not provide the operator<<.

It does.

Excuse me, my mistake. I have overlooked.

Quote:

Alternative FileOut could get a constructor which allows to select binary or text

And that would do what?

Would save it as binary file or as text file ("wt" or "wb" with FILE pointer), no matter which operator was used for filling. At Windows there are both possible (unlike Linux I've heard).

Convert '\n' to "\r\n" on Windows?

at Windows I have always written \n to a text file and never had a problem, thus I don't see the need for.

Quote:

IMO it is more logical to use specific Putn[le|be].

Do not know what you mean with Putn[le|be].

Quote:

LE/BE is usually not a variable for given file format.

Hmmm, I am pretty sure it is. For a *.wav (LE) I need to write/read the low byte first, for a *.mid (BE) at last.
Now its not a problem to sort that myself and push the single bytes then. It would be just more convenient to put a dword LE or BE like:

StringStream binData(LE).
dword d = 0xAA2244FF;
binData % d;

But its your business of course how you make it ultimatly.

kind greets
