without seeing anymore code, I can only guess. My quess is that you're closing the stream before the archive destructor is called. Try the following: main(){ ofstream of("filename); { text_archve oa(of): oa << stuff; } // text_archive destructor called here - this finishes off the archive } // ofstream destructor called here - this closes the stream Robert Ramey "Lee MacDonald" <lee.macdonald@schneidertrading.com> wrote in message news:F85AC698E27B0547A7AA4ACE8C18917C03D68153@lonschex01.eservices.stalimited.com... Guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with boost serialisation using boost 1.35 I am writing out my objects to a text file fine. I see the text_oarchive destructor get called and I get the required new line added to the end of the file. However when I read the objects back in, they get created fine, but as the archive reaches the end of file, it throws a stream error. I have tested the example code and that works fine, so I'm stuck at the mo. Unfortunately i can't try writing/reading the objects as binary easily. I presume the archive is trying to read past the end of the stream, but I don't know why as the newline exists? I've tried the following to make sure the stream is good, but archive still throws. while(stream.good()) { archive >> object; } Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
