I am calling ReadFile() WinAPI to copy the file contents to a char array, inside my VC++ code. Have placed GetLastError() immediately after ReadFile().
for( read some n no: of files)
{
FileRead(fp,destCharArray,ByesToRead,NoOfBytesRead,NULL);
int ret = GetLastError();
}
GetLastError() is returning 183 only when 1st file is read. For all other file reads its returning 183. But eventhough 183 is returned the contents of file are copied to charArray. And the problem is that the file read does not happen for some 28th file (here too return status is 183). Irrespective of successful or unsuccessful file read, 183 is returned!
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx
error code 183 means "ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS".
What does the above error status signify in ReadFile() context.?
Can anyone kindly help me in figuring out why?
