Rbuf8 to HBufC conversion gives characters like "\xFFFD"

[FrankTheFox]

Hi,


reading data from a socket like this:

RBuf8 Buffer;
Buffer.CleanupClosePushL();
Buffer.CreateL( len );
Buffer.FillZ();
iSocket.Read( Buffer, status );
User::WaitForRequest( status );

then put it to a 16-Bit Descriptor...

HBufC* tmp( NULL );
...
tmp = CnvUtfConverter::ConvertToUnicodeFromUtf8L( Buffer );

table field definition goes like this...

TDbCol Fld_XXX ( XXX_Col, EDBColText, 255);

So reading field data:

HBufC* tmpData = HBufC::NewLC( 255 );
tmpData = View.ColDes(4);

then formatting data....for listbox

HBufC Buffer = HBufC::NewLC(255);
_LIT(KStringHeader,"\t%S\t%S");
...
_LIT(KItemEntryX,"FeedBack:");
Buffer->Des().Format(KStringHeader(), &KItemEntryX, &*tmpData);

My Feedback goes like this "Die Übertragung zum SAP System war erfolgreich"

But tmpData looks like "Die \xFFFD\x0062\x0065rtragung zum..."

Checking the bytes you get from the socket may also be a good idea.
Note that &* can be freely replaced with a nothing. tmpData is a pointer to an object, *tmpData is the object it refers to, and &*tmpData is a pointer to that object, thus it is tmpData. Also note that "HBufC Buffer=HBufC::NewLC(255);" is a fictional part of your code, it can not compile, and it has no role in the code fragment you have posted.

Hi,

thanks for your reply! I will check the string i receive from socket. Yes you're right "&*" equal to "".
Buffer is:

HBufC* buffer = HBufC::NewLC( 255 );

and this will be used for formatting purposes. And this is not RBuf8!!!!
