Re: [Dev-C++] form binary data to unisgned int

If  you are lazy, and the data is in correct byte order, then you can do:

char readbuf[100];
unsigned int n;

n = *(unsigned int*)&readbuf[pos];

However, to make sure that the program works independent on processor
architecture, you should do something like:

n = ((unsigned)buf[pos])
  + (((unsigned)buf[pos+1]) << 8)
  + (((unsigned)buf[pos+2]) << 16)
  + (((unsigned)buf[pos+3]) << 24);
pos += 4;

Adjust order of bytes depending on how the file was saved.
