wchar_t is evil... it keeps killing my char*'s

[cyanide]

i can't just use a typecast to get my char*'s converted to wchar_t*'s. that produces random characters. i can't seem to find any function to convert it properly either. can anyone help me?

Yes, it's a big problem...
I do it this way:

Code: Select all

  wchar_t wc[100];
  char c[100];
  for(int t = 0; wc[t] != '\0'; t++)
    c[t] = (unsigned char)wc[t];

  for(int t = 0; c[t] != '\0'; t++)
    wc[t] = c[t];

I also did not find another solution to this...

thanks. as long as it works, i guess.

Try functions such as mbstowcs. Otherwise you'll get into trouble with real multibyte chars. And it's much more efficient...
