Writing several images into a single binary file

Hi all,

I have been successfully writing and reading images to/from binary files just with the image size on the first row and then all the pixel values sequentially, through the read/write functions (I use C++).

Now, I would like to join few images in a single file, separating the single images from each other by a text comment. This usually works, but, sometimes, one of the images is misread and when I check the file, I see an empty line where instead the image was supposed to start. This newline, somehow, screws everything up and the image following it gets completely rubbish.

I am writing greyscale images, a float for each pixel. I use Visual C++ and Win2000.

What would be your suggestion to solve this problem?

Thanks.
