hi all i´m currently programming a file packaging tool for my engine and i have one problem: when i store a file into my package and extract it again the file is damaged. when i get the filesize in my app its the same like the windows explorer tells me and after extraction too. i tried it with a text file and saw that my file reading and writing code changes some bytes(like the space into a square symbol) so what i want to know is how to read a file in without damaging it? i hope you understand what i mean thx for help. --=[[TheMatrixXXX]]=--

Are you JUST trying to copy a file in/out to/from an archive? Or are you doing something else with it in between?

no i just copy the file out of my archive
i have a "header" structure with the position and the length.
when i want to extract i search for the header and then seek to the position and copy out the data.
