From cppreference.com
< cpp | io | basic istream
pos_type tellg();
|
||
Returns input position indicator of the current associated streambuf
object.
Behaves as UnformattedInputFunction
, except that gcount() is not affected. After constructing and checking the sentry object, if fail() == true, returns pos_type(-1). Otherwise, returns rdbuf()->pubseekoff(0, std::ios_base::cur, std::ios_base::in).

[edit] Parameters
(none)
[edit] Return value
The current position of the get pointer on success, pos_type(-1) on failure
[edit] Exceptions
If an internal operation throws an exception, it is caught and badbit is set. If exceptions() is set for badbit
, the exception is rethrown.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <sstream> int main() { std::string str = "Hello, world"; std::istringstream in(str); std::string word; in >> word; std::cout << "After reading the word \"" << word << "\" tellg() returns " << in.tellg() << '\n'; }
Output:
After reading the word "Hello," tellg() returns 6
