<div>
in C++ &quot;\a&quot; is an alert character, and &quot;\b&quot; is a backspace character.<br />
Did you mean &nbsp;&quot;C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb...<wbr />.txt&quot;?
</div>


in C++ "\a" is an alert character, and "\b" is a backspace character.
Did you mean  "C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb....txt"?

<div>
Thank you for reply.<br />
<br />
Yes, I mean &quot;C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb...<wbr />.txt&quot; in code.
</div>


Thank you for reply.

Yes, I mean "C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb....txt" in code.

What do you mean &quot;UNICODE versions of the functions&quot; ?<br />
Can I use _wfopen_s() ? If not, how can I open and read a file ?
</div>


Thank you for reply ZOPPO.

What do you mean "UNICODE versions of the functions" ?
Can I use _wfopen_s() ? If not, how can I open and read a file ?

<div>
Yes, I mean &quot;C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb...<wbr />.txt&quot; in code -&gt; you can try the full path file, example &quot;C\\aaaaaaaaaaaaaa\\bbbbbb<wbr />bbb.txt,<br />
you can use &quot;C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb...<wbr />.txt&quot; in console application.
</div>


Yes, I mean "C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb....txt" in code -> you can try the full path file, example "C\\aaaaaaaaaaaaaa\\bbbbbbbbb.txt,
you can use "C:\\aaaaaaa....\\bbbbb....txt" in console application.

Hm - I'm not really sure because I never used it this way, but I guess it should work with <b>_wfopen_s</b> since this is a wide-character version of <b>fopen_s</b>.<br />
<br />
If it doesn't work you can use API functions like CreateFileW/ReadFileW/Writ<wbr />eFileW and FindFirstFileW/FindNextFil<wbr />eW/FindClo<wbr />se if your application doesn't use UNICODE.<br />

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I cannot open long file path with _wfopen_s() and FindFirstFile().<br />

Please advice.

Cannot open long file path

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
