You can use MFC serialization or you can do it directly using MFCC File object

CFile myFile('test.dat', CFile::modeWrite);

CString buff;
buff = "This is some text";

myFile.Write(buff, buff.GetLength());

p.s- you can also use Windows SDK functions or the CRT functions so your code works on all platforms (most anyways) HTH Cheers :) The word of the day is legs, let's go back to my house and spread the word ;P

hi Thanks for ur reply.Did u check this code,since it is not working. Thanks JP

Typically code I write here on CP is psuedo code, just to get you started on the right direction, I hardly never test code. try this instead:

CFile myFile('test.dat', CFile::modeWrite);
CString buff;
buff = "This is some text";
myFile.Write(buff.GetBuffer(buff.GetLength()), buff.GetLength());

Try to write like this! CFile myFile('test.dat', CFile::modeWrite); CString buff; buff = "This is some text"; myFile.Write(str.operator LPCTSTR(),buff.GetLength()); :) Abhishek Srivastava Software Engineer (VC++) India ,Noida Mobile no 9891492921 :)

hi Thanks for ur solution!! But if u use above code..it is not giving any error while executing..but this writes our data with some junk value...So we can't retrieve it properly. Cheers JP:)
