C++ Reading in Binary Char Array from stdin [duplicate]

Question

I am working on a project that works with bits.

Currently we can read in a file name, open it in binary and get a char array from the binary file. If not file name is given, I have to get the char array from stdin. The input will thus be of variable length.

Is there a way to read the entire stdin into a char array?

Thank you

Read it into a collection (string, vector, etc.) instead. stackoverflow.com/q/2602013/179910 — Jerry Coffin

std::vector<char> data(std::istream_iterator<char>{std::cin}, std::istream_iterator<char>{});? — Mooing Duck

Use std::basic_istream::get to get values and put it into an array
