CStdioFile Possible bug

Hey I use the CStdioFile object to write certain strings to a text file

When i use the WriteString method to write the following string " This is a test " the string is not output it seems to be because of the " "character, it is charcter 24. Does anyone know why this is doing this?

Thanks

What the problem you got, it should work fine.
Show the code which is causing you the problem.

Thanx

ok sure, The problem i have is no string is printed out to the file. If i remove the " " character (Character 24) then the string does display.

Heres my code:

CString name = _T("C:\\testingquote.txt");
CStdioFile file;
if ( !file.Open ( name, CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite))
return;

CString str = _T(" This is a test ");
file.WriteString(str);
file.Close();

I also tried this but got the same result

CString name = _T("C:\\testingquote.txt");
CStdioFile file;
if ( !file.Open ( name, CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite))
return;

CString str = _T("This is a test");
str = char(24)+str+char(24);
file.WriteString(str);
file.Close();

Thanks for your help

Please use the code tags when you post your code for the next time.

Ok when comes to your problem, the code which you gave is working fine in my machine, are you sure you are checking the correct file.

Thanx

Yep i'm sure, any other ideas?

Write one sample application and test whether its working or not.

what are the code tags, people have said that to me more than once but i dont know what they are.

simple, your code should enclose your code inside the 'code' tags

See the below link.

Thanx

you should use [code] and its closing tag with a forward slash before "code".

You should really learn how to use a debugger if you don't know how to use it yet. It will help to make you a good programmer.

I have noticed the special character u use "`" is a little curved so it couldn't be identified in the ANSI character set. So change your project settings to the UNICODE environment and it should be alright. I hope so.

When you use different character sets, you should use TCHAR not char, and all the other macros with T. Take a look at this FAQ ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=404079).

I would say, it will help you become a programmer. ;)
