Convert a code page string to a UCS string.

Syntax

UniStrToUcs(uconvObj, ucsBuffer, inBuffer, ucsBufferLen);

Parameters

uconvObj - UconvObject - input
The conversion object created from UniCreateUconvObject.
ucsBuffer - UniChar - output
The ucs buffer.
inBuffer - (character) - input
The input buffer that is null terminated.
ucsBufferLen - (integer) - input
Number of unicode character elements in the ucsBuffer.

Returns

An integer with values of:

Calling Convention

Cdecl32

Example Code

character   inBuffer = "C:\SOMEPATH\FILE.TXT";

size_t      unicodeBuffLen = 12;
ULONG       codePage;
ULONG       cpLen;       // length set by DosQueryCp
UniChar     unicodeBuff, // length of unicodeBuffLen
            ucsBuffer;   // length of CCHMAXPATH
UconvObject uconvObj;
character   out;         // allocate to CCHMAXPATH
integer     rc;

rc = DosQueryCp(size of ULONG, codePage, cpLen);

/* determine string for the conversion of codePage */
rc = UniMapCpToUcsCp(codePage, unicodeBuff, unicodeBuffLen);
rc = UniCreateUconvObject(unicodeBuff, uconvObj);
rc = UniStrToUcs(uconvObj, ucsBuffer, inBuffer, CCHMAXPATH);
rc = UniFreeUconvObject(uconvObj);

/* conversion for current codepage that can be used for paths */
rc = UniCreateUconvObject((UniChar pointer)L"@path=yes", uconvObj);
rc = UniStrFromUcs(uconvObj, out, ucsBuffer, CCHMAXPATH);
rc = UniFreeUconvObject(uconvObj);

/* use out - don't forget to de-allocate out when finished with it. */
/* error checking left out for brevity */

Notes

The sequence of the code page characters in inBuffer is converted into a sequence of Unicode characters in ucsBuffer. The code page was set by UniCreateUconvObject call in the UconvObject.

Conversion is only on bytes that convert. The process stops converting on the first non-valid byte. If the ucsBuffer isn't large enough, conversion ends on the byte previous to any buffer overflow. inBuffer is updated truncating the point of failure to the end and updating the ucsBufferLen to indicate the number of successfully converted elements.
