stray characters...

[vapanchamukhi]

following is my header file....

#ifndef __ACKRV__
#define __ACKRV__ 
#include <stdio.h>
#include ”header.h”
unsigned char ack_check(adt *);
#endif

when i enter command as below
it gave following output.

0000000 357 273 277 # i f n d e f _ _ A C K
0000020 R V _ _ \n # d e f i n e _ _ A
0000040 C K R V _ _ \n # i n c l u d e
0000060 < s t d i o . h > \n # i n c l
0000100 u d e 342 200 235 h e a d e r . h 342
0000120 200 235 \n u n s i g n e d c h a r
0000140 a c k _ c h e c k ( a d t *
0000160 ) ; \n # e n d i f \n
0000172

why it is considering extra characters like 357 273 277 etc....

Did you use something like notepad to create the file? It looks like the UNICODE start markers. You need to use a non-unicode editor for C programming (just copy'n'paste it into a non-unicode editor).

what are those UNICODE and non unicode characters????

You need to use a non-unicode editor for C programming (just copy'n'paste it into a non-unicode editor).

That part is untrue, however.
The default mode for Visual Studio is unicode files.

The answer to your question anyway is:
use a better editor.
