what is the difference between binary mode and text mode?

BINARY MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will be character wise. Each time u2018nu2019u2019 characters are READ or transferred.

The next READ or TRANSFER will start from the next character position and not on the next line.

IN TEXT MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will start at the beginning of a new line each time.

If for READ, the destination is shorter than the source, it gets truncated.

If destination is longer, then it is padded with spaces.

hi,

binary mode : it reads the file contents in character mode(character by character).

text mode: it reads the file contents in line mode(line by line) .

thanks,
