If you need to convert char *
from UTF8
to ANSI
, try the following function:
// change encoding from UTF8 to ANSI
char* change_encoding_from_UTF8_to_ANSI(char* szU8)
{
int wcsLen = ::MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, NULL, szU8, strlen(szU8), NULL, 0);
wchar_t* wszString = new wchar_t[wcsLen + 1];
::MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, NULL, szU8, strlen(szU8), wszString, wcsLen);
wszString[wcsLen] = '\0';
int ansiLen = ::WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, NULL, wszString, wcslen(wszString), NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
char* szAnsi = new char[ansiLen + 1];
::WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, NULL, wszString, wcslen(wszString), szAnsi, ansiLen, NULL, NULL);
szAnsi[ansiLen] = '\0';
delete []wszString;
return szAnsi;
}
