[VC++] How to Add text from TextBox to *.txt file

[ZikO]

Hello everybody

My program displays common sayings in my language and it's using polish
specific characters. The program reads those sayings from text file
(*.txt) and everything is ok if I manually add some new sayings, save
them in Notepad and display in program with no problems. Those sayings
are organised in very simple way as lines:

[file]
Saying 1
Saying 2
<etc>
<here program should add new saying as a new line>
[/file]

However, if I use my option in my program "Add New Saying" then using
TextBox, how can I add new line in *.txt file where text (saying) is
taken from TextBox->Text property without losing polish characters? I
have used <fstreamlibrary and simple code below:

ofstream f_output("file.txt");
char* txt = new char[TextBox->Text->Length + 1];
for(int i=0; i<TextBox->Text->Length; i++) {
txt[i] = Convert::ToChar(TextBox->Text[i]);
}
f_output << txt << endl;
f_output.close();
delete [] txt;
 

Problem is that I am losing polish specific characters doing this. I
tried this with wchar_t but <fstreamis making mess with my file or i
still misses something.

Can you please help. Thanks =)

Hi Ziko,

I guess you have to check about unicode stuff since you are having a
problem with polish characters. I don't think ofstream supports
unicode or "wide character set(?)". I guess this link may give you
some hints hopefully.
