_In reply to [dave\_59](https://verificationacademy.com/forums/t/reading-file-into-dynamic-array-failed/29656/2):_

that could the answer, but “data\_array” calls $fread first, and still, it is “data\_array”, what stores zeroes, and “video\_data” stores true values, read from file (still, it calls $fread second). However, i tried to do, what you recommended, now my code is:

…  
$frewind(file\_id);  
a = $fread(data\_array, file\_id);  
$frewind(file\_id);  
a = $fread(video\_data, file\_id);  
…

but nothing changed. “data\_array” still stores zeroes.
