Hi everyone,

How may one go about writing a buffer to a file in Big-Endian form rather than Little-Endian?

CString buffer;

buffer = 6;

WriteFile(myHandle, buffer, 2, &bWritten, NULL);

Gives (in hex):
06 00

How do we get:
00 06?

Any help most appreciated,
ASMD

void CFile::SwapBytes (
void* inout_pvData, int in_iSize, void* out_pvOut)
{
const char* pcSrc = (const char*) inout_pvData;
char* pcDest = new char [in_iSize];
for (int i = 0; i < in_iSize; i++)
pcDest [ i ] = pcSrc [ in_iSize - i - 1];
if (out_pvOut == NULL)
out_pvOut = (void*)inout_pvData;
memcpy (out_pvOut, pcDest, in_iSize);
delete pcDest;
}
swap it first then save it.
