I'm trying to write a wchar array to a file in C, however there is some sort of corruption and unrelevant data like variables and paths like this
c.:.\.p.r.o.g.r.a.m. .f.i.l.e.s.\.m.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t. .v.i.s.u.a.l. .s.t.u.d.i.o. 1.0...0.\.v.c.\.i.n.c.l.u.d.e.\.x.s.t.r.i.n.g..l.i.s.t...i.n.s.e.r.t
are written on to the file along with the correct data (example) I have confirmed that the buffer is null-terminated and contains proper data.
Heres my code:
myfile = fopen("logs.txt","ab+");
fseek(myfile,0,SEEK_END);
long int size = ftell(myfile);
fseek(myfile,0,SEEK_SET);
if (size == 0)
{
wchar_t bom_mark = 0xFFFE;
size_t written = fwrite(&bom_mark,sizeof(wchar_t),1,myfile);
}
// in another func
while (true)
{
[..]
unsigned char Temp[512];
iBytesRcvd = recv(sclient_socket,(char*)&Temp,iSize,NULL);
if(iBytesRcvd > 0 )
{
WCHAR* unicode_recv = (WCHAR*)&Temp;
fwrite(unicode_recv,sizeof(WCHAR),wcslen(unicode_recv),myfile);
fflush(myfile);
}
[..]
}
What could be causing this?
recv()
will not null-terminate &Temp
, so wcslen()
runs over the bytes actually written by recv()
. You will get correct results if you just use iBytesReceived
as byte count for fwrite()
instead of using wcslen()
and hoping the data received is correctly null-terminated (wide-NULL-terminated, that is):
fwrite(unicode_recv, 1, iBytesReceived, myfile);
