reading text into CString
-
Hallo all, can anyone tell me how to read in a line of text into a CString variable in and MDI MFC appln? All I want to do is to parse a text line-by-line from the active child window into the variable. I have a very simple text editor where the view is inherited from CEditView. thx, Ralf.

use CString::Find() to search the next '\n' character, and use CString::Mid() to extract the portion between the previous Find() result and the new one...

Refer the Forums Guidelines and ask a friendActually, my question is not that one. Sorry about the confusion. I was asking how to capture a string from the active child. I think I'd have to have a pointer to that child and somehow read its contents. Once I have that taken care of, then yes, I'd use CString's methods. Thx, Ralf.
