Using LPCWSTR

Hi,

I'm trying to open a file using the following code. However, I can't figure out how to get input from the user and either convert that string to a LPCWSTR or simply read the input as a LPCWSTR. Any suggestions?

Code:

---

HANDLE OpenFile(LPCWSTR FileName, DWORD AccessMode)
{
  HANDLE FileHandle;
  DWORD  CreateAttribute;

  CreateAttribute = (AccessMode == GENERIC_READ)?OPEN_EXISTING:CREATE_ALWAYS;
  FileHandle = CreateFile(FileName, AccessMode, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, CreateAttribute, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
  return(FileHandle);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  DWORD  LengthIn, InFileSize, LengthOut, OutFileSize;
  HGLOBAL FileDataPtr;

  char infile[80];
  char outfile[80];
 
  printf("What's the input file? ");
  scanf("%s", infile);
  printf("\nWhat's the output file? ");
  scanf("%s", outfile);
  printf("What's the LevelMask:\n\nHCI=0x0001\nL2CAP=0x0002\nSDP=0x0004\nRFCOMM=0x0008\nOBEX=0x0010\nBNEP/PAN=0x0020\n");
  printf("\nTo Do Multiple Parsing:\nLogical AND Packet Types (ex. for HCI and L2CAP -> 0x0003)\n ?");
  scanf("%04X", &LevelMask);
  printf("What's the DumpMask:\n\nHCI=0x0001\nL2CAP=0x0002\nSDP=0x0004\nRFCOMM=0x0008\nOBEX=0x0010\nBNEP/PAN=0x0020\n");
  printf("\nTo Do Multiple Parsing:\nLogical AND Packet Types (ex. for HCI and L2CAP -> 0x0003)\n ?");
  scanf("%04X", &DumpMask);

  printf("%s %s 0x%04x 0x%04x\n", infile, outfile, LevelMask, DumpMask);
 
  InFile      = OpenFile(TEXT(infile), GENERIC_READ);
  OutFile    = OpenFile(TEXT(outfile), GENERIC_WRITE);
}

If I hard code in my input and output files, this code works. I'm not too familiar with using LPCWSTR's, so any help would be appreciated.

To convert from ANSI to UNICODE use http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...icode_17si.asp

or you can do everything in your APP in UNICODE. You must #define UNICODE in your project though
Use _T("STRING") macro found in <TCHAR.h>
Use TCHAR or w_char instead of char
Use std::wstring instead of std::string
and use the UNICODE functions
wprintf() instead of printf()
wscanf() instead of scanf()
for others use MSDN to look up their UNICODE equivalents

Thanks that worked!
