Read wstring using File pointer

Question

Hi

I have used _wfopen in a+ mode. I am able to use fwscanf to read content of file but it gets terminated when there is white space.

Is there a way to read full line till new line character is occured ? Also need to know where file pointer is reached by reading a single line.

Many thanks in advance..

Answer 1

Ketan Lalcheta I have minimal experience with wide strings in file handling, so I am shooting in the dark now. It might work without the "ls", so try "%[^\n]" exactly.

BTW, it is recommended to use fgetws() instead of fwscanf().

Answer 2

Have you tried the format "%[^\n]"?

The C function ftell() can report the current byte offset in the file stream.

Answer 3

Ipang i have not attach it here as this is piece of code from main project

Also does file reading work on sololearn? If yes, I can share code here.

Answer 4

Brian it is wide string so I had %ls.... I changed to %[^\n]ls

And

%s[^\r\n]ls

None of them worked... Am I missing something ?

Answer 5

Thanks Brian ...I have chosen fgetws().
