How to remove a non-ascii character from CString
-
I find that some of the data I bring in has a character that looks like a space but is not a space. After much research, I identified the character as & then #160; If I put it together, it looks like a space in this message. How can I remove characters like this? I tried CString GetRidOf(CString str) { str.Remove(' '); return str; } but the remove function is not correct.

This method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string in which all characters from position startIndex to the end of the original string have been removed.
So, assign the result of the function to a new string and return that, or return the result of the function.

You could try
str.Remove('\xA0');
A0is the hexadecimal representation of the decimal value 160. It should represent a non-breaking-space."Five fruits and vegetables a day? What a joke! Personally, after the third watermelon, I'm full."
That worked. Thank you very much.

The CString version does not work like the .NET one: CString::Remove[^]
