   Escape sequences and file reading
  Hey, I was just wondering is there any way to use escape sequences when reading a file, say for example I opened a file for reading on the fstream could i somehow use a \r \v to move my current position in the file insted of using seekp();?If it can be done how would one go about doing it?   
  Perhaps std::getline, changing the deliminator used? Something like:std::getline(file, '\r');The problem would be you can't do an either '\r' or '\v' deliminator. Other issues is whether this file is binary or text (while std::getline would still work, it would work differently, I believe).
