But I was not comparing integers, I was comparing characters. So what you are saying underneath it really compares the ASCII value of the characters?

If so than the "wide" version will not work...

We have code like this in an old parser we wrote:

Thank you Ancient Dragon...I see what you are talking about. The data structure I have which contains strings will be either wchar_t or char depending on whether UNICODE is defined, so it works...

When using TCHAR there is generic data types tchar, generic string functions like _tcs and also _T/_TEXT. Are there any generic file I/O functions that switches between fopen/fwopen fwrite/fwwrite...

There is no way to do this within VS6? One benefit of doing it in that environment is I can pull up files selectively from the search results.

Investigate what it will take to port an app to use wide characters. I have a question on using tchar macro. Since tchar is really wchar_t or char depending on UNICODE #define, then does it mean...
