    Hi,

    In my program i need to open a windows registry export file (both older
    ASCII REGEDIT4 and unicode regedit 5 formats) and parse the file for my
    programs requirements.

    The project is not and cannot be built as unicode (for other reasons).
    Once the file is opened I need to parse the file, read keys + values
    etc...

    Question is how do i do this?

    I have used CStdioFile, open as typeBinary and then
    fgetws(wcBuffer, nMax, importFile.m_pStream)

    Which works for unicode files, but how do i test whether a file is ASCII
    or Unicode in the first place?

    Any help would be much appreaciated,
    Thanks in advance
