What's the input, instead?

Actually i will get the sharepoint folders which are stored in structures in the dll... Actually i must get ///////////////////////////// http://sharepoint/Docs http://sharepoint/News http://sharepoint/Reports http://sharepoint/SearchCenter http://sharepoint/SiteDirectory ///////////////////////////// when i put printf i.e printf("%d. is %S \n", i+1, elementValue[i]); I am getting the value for elementValue[i]

Since your writing a wide char text, either you have to use wofstream instead of ofstream or Covert the elementValue[i] to mutibyte using sprintf() or WideCharToMultiByte() before writing..

Correct your signature :)

If you need to write a UNICODE file the code I provided works fine but you have to put the proper BOM at the very start of the file, for instance

TCHAR * szIn = _T("http://sharepoint/Docs");
ofstream of("foo.txt", ios::out);
#ifdef _UNICODE
TCHAR BOM = 0xFEFF;
of.write((const char *) &BOM, sizeof(TCHAR));
#endif
of.write((const char *) szIn, _tcslen(szIn)* sizeof(TCHAR));
of.close();

On the other hand, if you need to write a ANSI file then follow Naveen suggestion: use wofstream instead of ofstream.

Also 'lokking' should be fixed in the signature. :-D

Hint: That's just not an emoticon, it is a hyperlink, in my previous post. A post of mine is downvoted for no good reason (IMHO) in that thread. So, superhero intervention needed.
