Windows 7, Visual Studio 2008, C++
The book "Windows via C/C++, Fifth Edition", Jeffry Richter, Microsoft Press, makes a convincing case for using Unicode. I don't like Unicode, but his case is convincing. I converted a data logger to Unicode. This app wrote text data to a file and the standard editing utilities like notepad, et al, read it with spaces between each character. Mr Richter says Windows is fully Unicode, but these basic utilities cannot handle Unicode.
I have been searching but not found a simple converter or built in C/C++ function to do the job. My app will never ever go outside my little environment.
How should an application write its Unicode data to a text file so utilities like these can read the text?
