Re: Read text from file in CE Image.

I used notepad on the XP machine to save it. The only editor I have on my
CE device is Wordpad. When I open it in WordPad it shows "1.0.1" which is
the ascii text I expect. I dumped my char buf as hex and it contains;
<31><2e><30><2e><31><0><0> etc. So it is definitely ascii and it seems I
just need to figure the proper converion to get that from my char array to
my CString. I thought that CString format function would take char of it.
I'll try some more methods.

Thanks.
