[gunnar66]

Hi I try to Create a File. The LpFileName i will receive from a token. But i get and error when i do this, Why? Error : error C2065: 'Lfilnavn1' : undeclared identifier Here is some of the code: HANDLE hFile1; char seps[] = ","; char *token; int ch = ','; char* filnavn1; token = strtok((char *)lpCmdLine, seps ); filnavn1 = token; while( token != NULL ) { token = strtok( NULL, seps ); // Get all token and assign to strings } hFile1 = CreateFile (TEXT(filnavn1), // Open .txt GENERIC_READ, // Open for reading 0, // Do not share NULL, // No security OPEN_EXISTING, // Existing file only FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, // Normal file NULL); // No template file

Hi, just declare your Lfilnavn1 or remove 'L' from filnavn1 in the line where you get this error! Then it should work P.

You wrote : just declare your Lfilnavn1 or remove L from filnavn1! in the line where you get this error! I get this error in this line hFile1 = CreateFile (TEXT(filnavn1), // Open .txt GENERIC_READ, // Open for reading 0, // Do not share NULL, // No security OPEN_EXISTING, // Existing file only FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, // Normal file NULL); // No template file As you can see i do not use Lfilenavn1 at all. It is the CreateFile who make the error So what could be wrong. It works in Visual C++, but not in Emededd C++ that I use.

The TEXT macro eventually translates to L What TEXT expects is a quoted string e.g. TEXT("myfile.txt") What you need to do is convert the char* filnavn1 to a wide char format string when using Embedded C++. Then use this as the first parameter in CreateFile Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
