Thank a lot in advance,

Could you please elaborate on the problem.....
Specifically: Do you just need to parse into ascii like characters, or do you specifically need to be able to read/display more obscure characters

I need to read the file till the end, file looks like:

text1;something;something
text2;something;something
text3;something;something
text4;something;something

And I need to parse every row and to form the vector based on these data.

I found this. But I cann't believe, that it is the only way to read this bloody unicode text file! It should be other way!

Ultimately a file is just a collection of bits so how you want to read it depends depends on what you want to do with it. If you know that you will be reading converted ascii characters only, then you simply read characters ignoring NULL. If you actually want to process information as Unicode the story gets a little harder.

Have you tried using a wifstream object?

I need to process reading information, but it's not necessary to do it in unicode. How can I read ignoring NULL? When I try to read with CStdioFile I can't get even the whole row. Should I do it with istream operators?

Not yet, but I try to try it.

I still read only nonsense symbols with it:

wchar_t wcht[1024];
char *cfn = "C:\\test.csv";
wifstream wifstrm(cfn, ios_base::in);
wifstrm.getline(wcht,1024,'\n');
