How to convert a TCHAR array to std::string?

Question

How do I convert a TCHAR array to std::string (not to std::basic_string)?

Answer 1

My answer is late, I'll admit that, but with the answers of 'Alok Save' and some research I've found a good way! (Note: I didn't test this version a lot, so it might not work in every case, but from what I tested it should):

TCHAR t = SomeFunctionReturningTCHAR();
std::string str;

#ifndef UNICODE
    str = t;
#else
    std::wstring wStr = t;
    str = std::string(wStr.begin(), wStr.end());
#endif

std::cout << str << std::endl; //<-- should work!
