Reading CArchive in Serialize

[vasanth1004]

I'm trying to read whatever is stored in my document inside the Serialize method But, whenever I read into a string from the archive, it takes out that string from the archive. Thus, when I call the Baseclass serialize, the outputted Document is missing the string that was read. Is there a way to read such that the string is not taken out from the archive? I tried reading the string after I called the base class serialize, but I get only an empty string. Thanks, (code is below). void CRichedDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar) { CString buf; ar.ReadString(buf); CRichEditDoc::m_bRTF = FALSE; CRichEditDoc::Serialize(ar); }

void CRichedDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar)
{
if (ar.IsStoring())
ar << m_buf;
else
ar >> m_buf;
}

I've not ever used CRichEditDoc or m_bRTF so I may be way off.

What I had originally works, but it removes the string from the archive. I also tried creating a new archive by getting the filename from the passed archive, but it didn't make a difference. Thanks

Basically I just want to read the contents of the current document into a String without removing what I read from the Archive. How do I do that?

Put them into two separate variables and than concatenate them.
