while writing string from text file i am getting square boxes. i am using carchive function . its reading correctly but starting i am getting two square boxes. i am using embedded vc++ for windows ce can anyone tell me how to solve that?
i cant use cstdiofile it wont support:

I assume you mean square boxes when you look at the file in a text editor. Those are non-printable characters, some of the data your are writting is not actually text.

This is possible if you get "\r'\n" the wrong way round i.e. "\n\r"

but only for first line it is showing square box in starting . for next line and all it parse correctly.i have to do substring comparision. if i take that first line string due to square box i cant do comparision. how can i remove that?

my code is:

to save file to text box:

CArchive ar(&f,CArchive::store)
ar>>m_buffer;

to parse the file

if(!ar.readString(StrLine))
return;
do
{
StrTotal+=StrLine;
StrTotal+=_T("\r\n");
}while(ar.ReadString(StrLine));
m_buffer=StrTotal;
UpDatedata(FALSE)

it parse the file correctly but giving square boxes at starting.

Have you check the file against what appears in the text box to see if you are getting extra data or if it is mis-interpreting data that is already there.

Surely

ar>>m_buffer;

loads m_buffer from ar? But you have created the CArchive with the store type indicating a file open for writing.

ya i checked that. it is not overwriting anything . but it is storing extra two square boxes at starting. to opena file i m using CArchive::Load and to save the file Carchive ::Store function but while parsing the file getting those boxes
