Hi All,
I am trying to convert LPTSTR to char* by using sprintf,
But sprintf copies only the first character from the string. i tried both array and pointer also , but the result is same. Here is my code...
LPTSTR TestStr= _T("Test String");
char s1[1000];
char *s2;
s2 = (char *) malloc(1000*sizeof(char));
sprintf(s1,"%s",TestStr);
sprintf(s2,"%s",TestStr);
Both s1 and s2 stores only 'T'.
Kindly help me in this regard...
Thanks for your time...

HI...
you using unicode or muli-byte characters??
Best Regards
Hi ,
Thanks for the reply.
I use UNICODE.

hi,
If u have compiled your program with UNICODE and _UNICODE defined, then LPTSTR will automatically become LPWSTR (Long pointer to a wide string) u cant assign this to char* but u can assign this to a variable of type wchar_t*.
Thnx
Xoinki
hi,
after using wchar_t* use swprintf() to get proper output.
Thnx
Xoinki
Thanks a lot Xoinki for the timely help.
I used wchar_t* as you suggested, It works fine.

PSKumaran.
LPTSTR TestStr= _T("Test String");
char s1[1000];
char *s2;
s2 = (char *) malloc(1000*sizeof(char));
sprintf(s1,"%s",TestStr);
sprintf(s2,"%s",TestStr);
You could have avoided this whole mess by not using char in the first place. The whole point of the TCHAR mappings is to seamlessly switch between char and wchar_t based on the project settings.
That means once you use a TCHAR macro you cannot use char or wchar_t in your code. You fixed this by using wchar_t and now your code won't work with char.
You should have used TCHAR, _stprintf() and TEXT: -
LPTSTR TestStr= TEXT("Test String");
-
TCHAR s1[1000];
-
PTCHAR s2;
-
s2 = (PTCHAR) malloc(1000*sizeof(TCHAR));
-
_stprintf(s1,TEXT("%s"),TestStr);
-
_stprintf(s2,TEXT("%s"),TestStr);
-
