Hi Guyz, Can you please tell me how to turn off the following in Boost Serailization? I dont need the following in my document. <!DOCTYPE boost_serialization> <boost_serialization signature="serialization::archive" version="3"> Use "no_header" flag when you open the archive. How do I Serialize an array of Object? eg: class simulated_defects { friend class boost::serialization::access; // friend std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream &os, const simulated_defects &gp); public: int defect_num[10]; int defect_pos; int defect_area; float defect_type; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int /* file_version */){ ar & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(defect_num) & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(defect_pos) & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(defect_area) & BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(defect_type); } }; simulated_defects object[10]; to serialize array of object , I need a wrapper to define this object inside a class and then serailize, is there any straight forward method? If i use loop to serialize the Headers at the top of xml file is inserted at start of each loop? use: simulated_defects objectst[10]; ... ar << objects; Robert Ramey
