C++ - International Characters

[C++]

I've already found this on the net

ostream& operator<<(ostream & os, char* szSource) {
   TCHAR szDestination[260] = "";
   CharToOem(szSource, szDestination);
   printf(szDestination);
   return os;
}

but it doesn't work . . . so is there any other way to print international characters in console using C++?

hi,
your problem has not been stated properly and the code snippet u have is confusing,
i assume u have a string of unicode charaters, since unicode chars support international characters.or do u have a string of MBCS which has international characters, depending on this the solution may vary.

 

[C++]

It's a string containing unicode characters

hi,
i am pasting a code snippet i used to display unicode chars,

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

WCHAR data[10]={0};
for(int i=0;i<=8;i++)
data=310+i;

wprintf(L"%S",data);
return 0;
}


this is a console application and compiled with Unicode option.

hi,
notice that i am using the big "S" for wprintf statment.

 

[C++]

what header is WCHAR in? I included everything I thought might work, but, well, it didn't

C++ has no such thing as WCHAR. Try wchar_t.

Hi,
WCHAR is defined in WinNT.h
hence include <windows.h>

enjoy.

Sir, My objective is to copy a character(Arabic letter) from one MS OFFICE WORD( .doc) file to another MS OFFICE WORD( .doc) file. The pasted programm work perfectly on English (letter) character, Sir I am confuse how to copy a (unicode or) arbic character? What is the syntax of C++ to copy an unicode and which version of C++? Sir I am using Turbo C++ version 3.0

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<iostream.h>
void main (void)
{
clrscr();

FILE *fa,*fb;
int ch;

fa=fopen("Read.doc","rb");
fb=fopen("Write.doc","wb");

ch=getc(fa);
putc(ch,fb);

fclose(fa);
fclose(fb);
}

the code posted above will not work as it only recognises single byte char and not DBCS or MBCS
