VC6 Text Files: Reading a text file of type ANSI and unicode using CStdioFile

ANSI

Actually I converted my VC .net project from Use Multi-Byte Character Set to Use Unicode Character Set (i.e. Unicode support). Then lot of build errors fixed.

Before in my project, I’m reading the ANSI text file as below

CStdioFile l_oStdioFile;
CString l_strValue = _T("");
TCHAR l_chBuff[1024*10];
CFileException l_oFileEx;

CString m_strFileName = _T("C:\\Documents and Settings\\PHari\\Desktop\\ASAS.txt");

BOOL l_bResult = false;

try
{
     l_bResult = l_oStdioFile.Open(m_strFileName,CFile::modeRead,&l_oFileEx);
     int count = l_oStdioFile.GetLength();

     if(!l_bResult) return;

     UINT l_nBytesRead = l_oStdioFile.Read(l_chBuff,1024*10);

    l_oStdioFile.Close();

    int l_nIndex = 0;          

    for(int l_nCount = 0; l_nCount < (int)l_nBytesRead; l_nCount++)
    {
        l_strValue += l_chBuff[l_nCount];
    }

 }
catch(CFileException oFileEx)
{

}

Once I changed my project to Unicode support. With the above code, I’m trying to read the Unicode text file, it is working fine. If I try to read the ANSI text file, it is not reading properly. This problem is coming Once I built my project with Unicode support.

Is it possible to read text file of type ANSI and unicode using CStdioFile as shown above? Or where I’m doing wrong? My requirement is I need to read the text file of type ANSI and Unicode with above code.



Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
