Read wstring using File pointer

Hi I have used _wfopen in a+ mode. I am able to use fwscanf to read content of file but it gets terminated when there is white space. Is there a way to read full line till new line character is occured ? Also need to know where file pointer is reached by reading a single line. Many thanks in advance..

Ketan Lalcheta I have minimal experience with wide strings in file handling, so I am shooting in the dark now. It might work without the "ls", so try "%[^\n]" exactly. BTW, it is recommended to use fgetws() instead of fwscanf().

Have you tried the format "%[^\n]"? The C function ftell() can report the current byte offset in the file stream.

Brian it is wide string so I had %ls.... I changed to %[^\n]ls And %s[^\r\n]ls None of them worked... Am I missing something ?
