std::basic_istream::tellg(3) C++ Standard Libary std::basic_istream::tellg(3) NAME std::basic_istream::tellg - std::basic_istream::tellg Synopsis pos_type tellg(); Returns input position indicator of the current associated streambuf object. Behaves as UnformattedInputFunction, except that gcount() is not af- fected. After constructing and checking the sentry object, if fail() == true, re- turns pos_type(-1). Otherwise, returns rdbuf()->pubseekoff(0, std::ios_base::cur, std::ios_base::in). Parameters (none) Return value The current position of the get pointer on success, pos_type(-1) on failure Exceptions failure if an error occurred (the error state flag is not goodbit) and exceptions() is set to throw for that state. If an internal operation throws an exception, it is caught and bad- bit is set. If exceptions() is set for badbit, the exception is rethrown. Example // Run this code #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <sstream> int main() { std::string str = "Hello, world"; std::istringstream in(str); std::string word; in >> word; std::cout << "After reading the word \"" << word << "\" tellg() returns " << in.tellg() << '\n'; } Output: After reading the word "Hello," tellg() returns 6 See also seekoff repositions the file position, using relative addressing [virtual] (virtual protected member function of std::basic_file- buf<CharT,Traits>) repositions the next pointer in the input sequence, output sequence, or seekoff both, using relative addressing [virtual] (virtual protected member function of std::basic_stringbuf<CharT,Traits,Allocator>) seekoff repositions the next pointer in the input sequence, output sequence, or [virtual] both, using relative addressing (virtual protected member function of std::strstreambuf) seekg sets the input position indicator (public member function) tellp returns the output position indicator (public member function of std::basic_os- tream<CharT,Traits>) seekp sets the output position indicator (public member function of std::basic_os- tream<CharT,Traits>) http://cppreference.com 2022.07.31 std::basic_istream::tellg(3)
