GetPrivateProfileString() problem

[ashish8patil]

What is woring in my following codes run time error is occuring for both code int main() {LPTSTR strResult; LPTSTR strDefault=L"no"; DWORD d=255; GetPrivateProfileString(L"data",L"Patchcab ", strDefault,strResult,d, L"D:\\TMP\\patchpolicy.ini"); printf("%s",strResult); } int main() { LPTSTR strResult=L""; LPTSTR strDefault=L"no"; DWORD d=255; GetPrivateProfileString(L"data",L"Patchcab ",strDefault,strResult ,d,L"D:\\TMP\\patchpolicy.ini"); printf("%s",strResult); }

There is no memory allocated for the LpReturnedString parameter. You're declaring it as LPTSTR strResult which is only a pointer. You will need to do this -

TCHAR strResult[255];
DWORD d = 255;

Also change printf to _tprintf.
