OK, this is starting to look more like a serialization problem.  You
have serialized objects into a binary representation on your input
stream and you need to deserialize them from the stream into your data
structure.

Boost has a serialization library for this sort of thing, but I
haven't used it myself.

Does this look more like what you need?
