Hello everyone, I am new to Visual C++, MFC.
What i m trying to do is, Read the text file data and display the same in a Read Only, Multiline Edit Box without using open Dialog box. The length of file is variable.I am able to display the text file data in an edit box but i m using CTime class to get the time when the event takes place and writing the same in Text file but while reading m only able to read the time and the data in front of time is missing. can anyone pls help me with the same?

For Example:- 20/08/2012 - 17.30.45 Initializing LED test....

so when i start reading and displaying the same in an edit box, only
20/08/2012-17.30.45
is displayed and rest data is lost.

You really expect someone to fix your code without actually showing the code to them?

Here is the code....

CStdioFile fp;
CString m_Buffer;
CString m_TempBuffer;

fp.Open(cFileAddr, CFile::modeRead);

while (!feof (fp.m_pStream))
{
fp.ReadString( m_TempBuffer );
m_Buffer += m_TempBuffer;
m_Buffer += "\r\n";
}

fp.Close();

m_EditBox.SetWindowText(m_Buffer);

See the process of reading a text file from here..
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307398[^]
After that while displaying data you need some string operation over that..It's up to you man,you can't expect whole of your code from here.So try it yourself,then tell us what problem you are facing..

And for writing the Date, Time and Data to a text file i m doing it in following manner.....

CString strDate, strTime;

Time = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
strDate = Time.Format("%x-");
strTime = Time.Format("%X");

file.Write(strDate, 9);
file.Write(strTime, 9);
file.Write(" Initializing Key Test....\r\n", 28);

Ok,then from that text of file you can use SubString method to cut your necessary text if the text length of your necessary text is same for all cases in a text file.
