Hi!

please suggest below problem.

CString str1 = "/\?<>|:*"; //contains only these letters
CString str2 = "CodeProject@25_Feb#2013!"; // contains no's special chars, letters

need to compare both str1 and str2. str2 should not match with any character in str1.

Or CString::FindOneOf()[^]. The name is just a little more intuitive :).

I did not get success by using above functions. Any other solutions please. And how to resolved this : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString' to 'const char *'?

unicode / non-unicode conflict. use the the neutral _tcsspn version or the unicode wcsspn version. Or better yet, use the function suggested by SoMad.
