I am writing a code for arithmetic compression. But my problem is i can't open the file 2nd time for reading.

code is:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
using namespace std;
#define MAX_SYM 255

struct node
{
      char ch;
      int count;
      /*public:
      node()
      {
            //cout<<"constructor at work. \n";
            count =0;
            next= NULL;
      }
      void count_incre()
      {
           count++;
      }*/
}pq[MAX_SYM];

//imported code
/* global variables, a necessary evil */
int nbits, current_byte, nbytes;

/* output a single byte to an open file when 8 bits are accumulated*/
void bitout (FILE *f, char b) {

cout<<"in fxn bitout";
/* shift current byte left one */
current_byte<<=1;                   //current_byte = current_byte <<  1;
cout<<"shifted";

/* put a one on the end of this byte if b is '1' */
if (b == '1') 
current_byte|=1;
cout<<"and";                     //current_byte= current_byte | 1;       

// one more bit 
nbits++;
cout<<"nbits: "<<nbits;
system("pause");

/* enough bits? write out the byte */
if (nbits == 8) {
          cout<<"nbits=8; writing" ;
   fputc (current_byte, f);
   nbytes++;
   nbits = 0;
   current_byte = 0;
   }
   cout<<"returning";
   system("pause");
}

TOTAL_COUNT = 7
a : 2
h : 1
k : 1

I'm not sure why you posted this 3 times, but it's really not an advisable habit to get in to...

In ini_count(), you appear to read to the end of the file. Because of that, and since I don't see any sort of reset, I'm guessing your eofbit flag is still set. While that flag is set, you can not read from the file. Try this:

char a; 
  //fin.open(file_in, ios::in);
  //cout<<"at posn: "<<fin.tellg();
  fin.seekg(0,ios::beg);
  if (!fin.good())
    fin.clear(); 
  //cout<<"at posn: "<<fin.tellg();
  fin>>a;
  if (!fin)
  {
           cout<<"file couldn't be opened.";
           system("pause");
           exit(0);
  }

I know its already open. why am i not being able to read it from start??
I also tried to close it before opening and then open again but that didn't work also.

here is ashorter code:

thanks. i will try this.
actually 2nd time i posted a shorter code so that people may understand easily. I got double posted for reasons i don't know. Not INTENTIONAL.
