only first character is displated from string

[manu99]

hi all,
I have developed a console application with MFC and unicode supported using Visual studio.net 2003.
The problem I have is that the output stream is displaying only the first character in the string rather than the whole string. see below:

CString str = _T("14.50.00");
TRACE("start time is : %s\n" str);

the output comes out as : start time is :1

Can any one help?
thanks

I'm surprised you got that far ;). (you are missing a comma between the end quote and str).

Assuming that the missing comma is a typing error, it could be that you are using a UNICODE string in a non-UNICODE enviroment. In fact, I don't think that the TRACE system even recognises UNICODE strings.

Thanks Adrian.
I have set the project properties to Use Unicode Character Set so I think the environment is ok. I have tried using printf rather than TRACE and I still get the same problem.

Use wprintf() for unicode.

Problem was fixed by adding the "L" symbol infront of the string ehich is used for wide character strings.

Then something is wrong with the defintions of _T(). It is a macro that is to put the leading L in for you if you have set up the Unicode settings correctly.
