How to read file which contains \uxxxx in vc++

Question

I have txt file whose contents are:

\\u041f\\u0435\\u0440\\u0432\\u044b\\u0439_\\u0438\\u043d\\u0442\\u0435\\u0440\\u0430\\u043a\\u0442\\u0438\\u0432\

Check this code :) Windows SDK has it already for you, MS geeks thought for this too, you can find more details in this post: http://weblogs.asp.net/kennykerr/archive/2008/07/24/visual-c-in-short-converting-between-unicode-and-utf-8.aspx

#include 
#include 

#define ASSERT ATLASSERT

int main()
{
    const CStringW unicode1 = L"\u041f and \x03A9"; // 'Alpha' and 'Omega'

    const CStringA utf8 = CW2A(unicode1, CP_UTF8);

    ASSERT(utf8.GetLength() > unicode1.GetLength());

    const CStringW unicode2 = CA2W(utf8, CP_UTF8);

    ASSERT(unicode1 == unicode2);   

    return 0;
}

This code has been tested by me and it works fine.
