seekg uses ios as the second argument, and ios can be set to end or beg or some other values as shown here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/ios/
I just want the pointer to move to the next character, how is that to be accomplished through ifstream?
EDIT
Well, the problem is that I want a function in ifstream similar to fseek, which moves the pointer without reading anything.
