Ansistring to widestring conversion.

[Tremorblue]

I have a couple of functions that write ansistring to a file or to an internal buffer.
I have been trying to figure out how to convert them to use widestring , can anyone help, Im stuck!

I still need the internal buffer to stay as char.

Thankyou.


void __fastcall TFormMain::WriteDataToFile(int iFileHandle,AnsiString aData)
{
MemoryOrDisk(iFileHandle,aData.c_str(),aData.Length());
}

void __fastcall TFormMain::MemoryOrDisk(int iFileHandle,char *cData,int iLength)
{
if(iFileHandle>0)
{
FileWrite(iFileHandle,cData,iLength);
}else
{
strncpy(&c_InternalBuffer[l_InternalBufferPosition],cData,iLength);
l_InternalBufferPosition+=iLength;
}
}

I don't know if this thread is what you are looking for but it might be a start. They start out with a discussion of characters and then move into widestrings.

I'am not sure if I understand your problem well.

But AnsiString has an function dat convert itself to a widestring:

ansiStr.WideChar(dest,int);

ansiStr is an AnsiString.
dest is a wchar_t*

And there are more functions like:
WideString(ansiStr.c_str());

There exist also
<stddef.h>
wchar_t
typedef i-type wchar_t; [keyword in C++]
The type is the integer type i-type of a wide-character constant, such as L'X'. You declare an object of type wchar_t to hold a wide character.
