Question

I’m just trying to write some text data out to a tab-delimited file. Here’s the code. Name() and File() return CStringW, while ID() returns int,

ofstream myfile(file);

if (myfile.is_open())
{
    v::iterator i = begin();

    while(i != end())
    {
        myfile << i->Name() << L"\t" << i-ID() << L"\t" << i->File() << endl;
       i++;
    }

    myfile.close();

 }

But instead of getting the output I expect, the file looks like this

001554B00043F66840043F668001554F8
001555400043F6685440043F66800155588

What gives?

Answer 1

Use a wofstream, which has the appropriate operators for const wchar_t *.

wchar_t * to ostream will use operator<<(ostream &, void *) as there’s no operator for wchar_t *

EDIT: Use .GetString() on the CStringW’s.
