Sounds like you should be scraping the content of the page as Unicode (wide chars, wchar_t) instead of ANSI (narrow chars, char).
The standard ASCII table, which you are really using like-it-or-not when dealing with char types, does not have a lot of extended characters in it, and the ones it has can be treated differently by different systems. For example, -50 is 0xCE, which can be Î or ╬, or some other character...

Thanks for the reply. The whole application is developed around ANSI and changing everyting looks like not such a good idea. I was wandering if there is any mechanism to determine the “real character” behind -50. If I know that the real character is a greek character I can convert it into a html entity for example and I can get something like %u03C.

I dont know you checked my post or not...but this will work..isnt it?
CString cstext = L"03C5";
wchar_t Greek;
int nChar;
swscanf( cstext, L"%x", &nChar );
Greek = nChar;

I did . Thanks.
I do not use CString (not using MFC). Your solution works but I am trying to find a way to determine if there is a possible to find our which Greek character is assigned to -50 (if there is such a possibility).

|
|
why cant you try printing it out to console..?
wprintf( L"%c", pGreek );
nave
|
|
|
|

I did.
printf("%c\n", c);
wprintf( L"%c", c );
Both print the same character which is not the correct one ┼ (this is printed instead of Π)

if 'c' is of type wchar_t then you must specify like this.
wprintf( L"%c", &c );

That entirely depends on the text encoding. Which charset is the webpage you are working with? If it is Windows CP 1253 (Greek), you can find out by setting the codepage of your console window to 1253 and then printing it out. For -50 (ie 206 in unsigned form) it should be greek capital XI: Ξ

naveen, be careful, write this :
CStringW cstext = L"03C5"; or
CString cstext = _T("03C5"); but don't mix the two styles.
apparently, you're using wide characters in all the rest of your code, so i'd say use the former...

but CString have both constructors
CString(LPCWSTR lpsz)
CString(LPCSTR lpsz)
Any way I did so because he said( in his previous post) his project is UNICODE define...

this is not acceptable argument, because, if the application is not defining UNICODE macro, even if you initialize your CString with a LPCWSTR, the string will be casted into ANSI string.
BTW, i doubt of this information. actually, CString gets a LPCTSTR, which is transformed into LPCSTR or LPCWSTR depending on unicode definition
Naveen R wrote: Any way I did so because he said( in his previous post) his project is UNICODE define...
yes, but then prefer using CStringW. imagine the case when someone else has to maintain the application, or develop the dual possibility of having the application running both ansi and unicode... your code must be flexible, not only "aware"

Even if UNICODE is defined, I am expecting only ANSI characters in that statement.

Whats is this CStringW? I didnt find any such class in vc6. I havent worked in later verions of visual studio. Is it a new class added to the MFC in later verions of visual studio?

char is a signed data type.
You have to use unsigned char in order to get the character values above 127 (decimal) right, such as:
unsigned char v;
for (i=0; i {
v = (unsigned char) buf[i];
}
There is a compiler option (/J ?) that defaults char to be unsigned.

If you just want char to be unsigned, set the compiler option /J.

Hey all,
I'm having a problem with an MFC program using CSockets. What i'm trying to do is have a connection to a server (that won't be my own creation) which can reconnect or attempt to reconnect if the connection is ever lost. The problem I have is if the address doesn't exist the application seems to pause and become unresponsive when trying to connect. Which is fair enough, but how do I prevent the connect if the address doesn't exist or isn't ready to connect because the program will be automated and does other stuff between connections.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

cant you issue an icmp/ping to see if the address is out there before you attempt to connect to it ? .. it seems that this unresponsive behaviour is common in network apps

yeah thats what I was thinking, could you point me towards the ping commands please? I had a look yesterday but was unable to find a suitable example.
Thanks
|

I would suggest looking into non-blocking sockets, or a worker thread to block on the connect (and retry) for you.
Be careful relying on Ping - there are firewalls out there that can be configured to ignore ICMP Ping packets, so relying solely on Ping is not a good idea, IMHO, especially if the server is not yours, implying that you do not have that much control over its connectivity.
