Question No: 23 ( Marks: 5 )

What is random access file and how data can be read and write into random access file?
Now we will discuss how to access files randomly, forward and backward. Before moving
forward or backward within a file, one important factor is the current position inside the file.
Therefore, we must understand that there is a concept of file position (or position inside a
file) i.e. a pointer into the file. While reading from and writing into a file, we should be very
clear from where (which location inside the file) our process of reading or writing will start.
To determine this file pointer position inside a file, we have two functions tellg() and tellp().
Position in a File Let’s say we have opened a file stream myfile for reading (getting),
myfile.tellg () gives us the current get position of the file pointer. It returns a whole number
of type long, which is the position of the next character to be read from that file. Similarly,
tellp () function is used to determine the next position to write a character while writing into
a file. It also returns a long number. For example, given an fstream object aFile:
Streampos original = aFile.tellp(); //save current position aFile.seekp(0, ios::end);
//reposition to end of file aFile << x; //write a value to file aFile.seekp(original); //return to
original position So tellg () and tellp () are the two very useful functions while reading from
or writing into the files at some certain positions.
