i did read the man page... from my re-reading i changed %C to %c but otherwise i dont know what to do -- arg1 is a pointer to a wide char array? arg2 is the maximum length of the string (?) arg 3 is the format and the rest are referred to in the format...
is this correct?
ps, dont get my wrong i love how you dont tell me, but rather let me learn on my own (i just need a small extra clue)
ok im going for the sprintf the bytes to a char array and going from there i found this piece of code does not compile
at all i tried it on multiple architectures.. nothing. right now if i could print the array file_name then i would be a happy person. another thing, does creat() take UTF-16?Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> int main() { char ch[] = {0x00, 0x6C, 0x00, 0x6F, 0x00, 0x00}; printf("%S", (wchar_t*)ch); return 0; }
thanks
The following works for me in VS2005
I have no gcc to check it as wellCode:#include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> int main() { char ch[] = {0x6C, 0x00, 0x6F, 0x00, 0x00,0x00 }; wchar_t* pCh = (wchar_t*)ch; wprintf(L"%s\n", pCh); printf("%S\n", pCh); return 0; }

except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

that interprets it as a 1 byte string, becuase it prints 'l' (ell) and quits, also if you add a trailing 0x00, (which is evident in my string) then it doesnt print anything...
this is becming an annoyance... is it really that hard to print a 16 bit character string?
(Im not paying out on you, im just surprised :s)
thanks
