If so, I do not have one of your books but do have what I call "the I/O streams black book"[0]. The C++ I/O streams library was very much underrated IMHO. 0 - https://www.amazon.com/Standard-IOStreams-Locales-Programmers-Reference/dp/0201183951 https://www.amazon.com/Standard-IOStreams-Locales-Programmer...
