:doh: What are you trying to do ? Could you be more specific ? If you want to 'open the file in binary mode', you can simply add the flag "b" when calling fopen. But I doubt this is what you are looking for.

Try

    FILE * file = fopen(file_name, "rb");

The key issue is the "b" flag.

Yes but what is adress ? It should be a char array that contains the path to the file. But you didn't answer my question: what are you trying to do exactly ? I think binary mode is not what you think it is.
