From my previous thread of "cast int to char"
I'm sure my method can be improved! What would be the best way to do
the following:

// New file: write Unicode marker
unsigned char buf[10];
buf[0] = static_cast<int>(254);
buf[1] = static_cast<int>(255);
m_file.Write(&buf[0],2);

{ 254 and 255 are of type int, even without static_cast<int>. -mod/sk }

Or are you happy with it?
I am putting in the first 2 characters so my file is recognized as
being 16 bit characters!
Thanks
Todd.

Why not:

m_file.write("\xFE\xFF", 2);

?

Yoy might ask yourself: If the file is supposed to be recognized as
being 16 bit characters, why are you writing it as 8 bit characters?
