But since you mention *argv[], I would guess that comes from main. So, why not get directly Unicode in main? wmain to always get wchar_t, _tmain for generic text data types -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Visual C++] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email

As a rule, programs should be written either entirely using 8-bit characters (char in C++) or 16-bit characters (wchar_t in C++). The latter is preferred in modern Windows programming because the native character set of Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/.. is UTF-16. If you want a program that will compile for either 8-bit or 16-bit characters then you can use TCHAR. -- David Wilkinson Visual C++ MVP |
