    , I get a error that it said:
    You dont have acces to this file.

    Open the file using

    CFile::modeReadWrite OR CFile::modeWrite

    it seems you don't have permission to write.

    I changed the mode by modeReadWrite and I get simbols like this:

    <pre>쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌쳌﫸Y쳌쳌쳌쳌꣨ɷ쳌쳌偁泇¬</pre>

    I also try this:

    void CDlgResultados::loadFromFile(void)
    {
    CString path= GetUserHomeDir() + _T("\\Documents\\file.txt");

    CStdioFile f1;
    f1.Open(path, CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeRead || CFile::typeText);
    
    CStdioFile f(stdin);
    TCHAR buf\[100\];
    
    f1.ReadString(buf, 99);
    
    m\_Edit.SetWindowTextW(buf);
    

    }

    But I get simbols. I think that the problem is the function ReadString doesnt get the text from the file, becouse the simbol that I get are the "rubbish" which is inicializated buf

      OK, and does that directory exist and can you create that file manually? If so then check also the suggestions from other commenters below.

        In your original code you were writing from an uninitialised buffer, hence the garbage recorded in your file. Check the logic of your code thus:

        1. Create the file with access for writing
        2. Write some text either from a constant string, or from some data built by the program
        3. Close the file
        4. Open the file with access for reading
        5. Read the text into a buffer
        6. Close the file

        In each case check the results of your function calls to ensure that your code has completed without error. You can also create your file manually using Notepad or similar text editor.

            You are creating an empty file and then attempting to read from it. Is that really what you want? Also, you may want to revise your usage of the | and || operators.

              See CFile[^], and in particular the Read() and Write() functions.

                Nooo. I have a text file that I created manually,and I'd like to read the text from it. I made a mistake when I write ||, but it is not the error

                  `So, why are you asking for the the file to be Created?

                  if ( myFile.Open(path, CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeRead ) )

                  | is a bitwise OR, || is a logical OR

                      I continue to feel very fortunate that the vast majority of programming (that I see) is done in english. I understand that with function/variable names in my own language I am at an advantage to those for whom they are in a different language. :thumbsup:
