NUM file is a file that stores binary data...

We don't know how this binary data is structured...

You might consider the CFile code I posted in this thread.
If you want to store several instances of the same data structure, you
might write a number that stores the count of instances, and then all
the instances, e.g.

<count>
<data1>
<data2>
...
<dataN>

So when you read data back, you can read the count value, resize an
array with this count value, and then do a for loop to read all data
instances in the array.
