Hey all,
Quick question...been bugging me for some time, really. I have a console app, it does some things, and I want to save an array of text to a text file. The text consists of ASCII and extended ascii (codes 0 to 255). I am using ofstream to output, and this is the line doing the actual output:
outfile << screenbuffer[i].Char.AsciiChar ;
Note that screenbuffer is an array of type 'CHAR_INFO', quick info of it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...r_info_str.asp
Anyhow, the output, when I open it up in Notepad, shows ASCII characters fine, but nothing from the extended set (the extened set characters are garbled... into other characters.) When I put some extended ASCII chars into notepad (by holding ALT and pressing some numbers), they appear ok. When I try to save the file, it tells me I need to save in Unicode format.
SOOOO, I cannot figure out how to output to a text file in Unicode format from my program. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

You have two choices:
1. Use wide char streams (std::wofstream )
or
2. Use unformatted output (basic_ostream< ...>::write method)

now. I know because when I store the string to...
