Binary file created with IDL strings [message #57329]

I am trying to read in a IDL created binary file in C++. The file
contains floats, ints, doubles, and strings. I am able to read the
floats and ints (shorts in C++) with no problem, but once I get to the
section of the file containing strings, I cannot seem to read in the
correct number of bytes. I am not concerned with the contents on the
strings, but there is more data in floats after the strings that I
need to be able to read properly. If possible, I could seek forward
however many bytes just to get to the location of the data after the
strings. Does anyone know how many bytes each character in an IDL
string is? There are 22 strings, each 20 characters long. How many
bytes would this be?
