Determine the end of Wav file

[Prasad]

How to determine the end of the wav file?
The c function

"while((x=getc(f))!=EOF){}"

is not working for wav files..

It will work for any file type. Post your full code.

The BASIC program interfaces I've used typically give a similar example of a command to read all bytes in a file.
DO / UNTIL EOF (or equivalent WHILE/ WEND loop).

At some time I started to find 'EOF' did not always bring about the expected end of a file input loop. I forget if it produced an error, or maybe it simply froze program execution.

Anyway I stopped using 'EOF'. I find it works if I get a byte count of the file length as I open it, and then keep track continually of how many bytes I have read.

Or to read the entire file into memory, and then PEEK each byte in sequence.

The .wav file format includes a file-length code in the header.
