Hi to all

i m having problem in reading a unicode string from a unicode formatted file can any one direct me how to read a string till a given delimenator the code i m writing is

char buffer =new char[2500];

memset(buffer,'\0',strlen(buffer));

fstream fp,fp1;

fp.open("c:\\filedata1.txt",ios::in);

if (!fp.is_open())

{

cout << "couldn't open file" << endl;

exit(3);

}

else

while(!fp.eof())

{

fp.getline(buffer,2500,'¶');

fp1.open("c:\\notfounddata2.txt",ios::out);

fp1.write(buffer,2500);

cout<<buffer;

memset(buffer,'\0',strlen(buffer));

}

fp.close();

fp1.close();

}

Hi,

use the strstr function which gives you back the position of the first occurence of the wanted char's. Than read from the beginning of the string till this position.

when i need to read from a file till the occurence of a specific pattern i use a self written function which reads byte by byte and checks if i read the pattern i am looked for. post me a pm if you need those code.
