write UTF, read UTF & C++

[Cagliostro]

Hi,
I want to create a C++ client for a chat. The Java client I have created use function readUTF. How can I transform this UTF to wchar_t* and viceversa? Ion Filipski

I've never used read/writeUTF but according to the documentation it's a "Java modified UTF-8" format. That means in C++ you would have to supply your own code to read/write that same format.

If you want to develop it yourself the format is well documented in java.io.DataInput.readUTF().

Otherwise you might try a google search for an existing library/source in C++ that you can adopt.

good luck

I would know if there is some schema of mapping UTF to wchar_t* and endian wchar_t*. In the documentation I saw two schemas and do not know which one to apply. Another question is how can I know if characters int the strings are are endian or not? Is there any control characters? Ion Filipski
