acutPrintf displays funny chars in AutoCAD text window

[Anonymous]

System::String* str = rb->resval.rstring;
acutPrintf("File %s does not exist", str); => this line displays correctly
the name if I'm using debug version of the arx file, but with release
version I get : ô´y ...

Do you know why ?

Thanks for any advice.

I'm using Visual C++ with Managed Extensions:
try

{

struct resbuf *rb;

rb = acedGetArgs();

if (rb == NULL)

acutPrintf("CimsErase function needs arguments to be suplied");

else

{

if (rb->restype == RTSTR)

{

System::String* str = rb->resval.rstring;

str->Replace("\\", "\\\\");

if (System::IO::File::Exists(str))

{

System::IO::File::Delete(str);

}

else

// HERE IS THE PROBLEM

acutPrintf("File %s does not exist", str);

}

else

acutPrintf("First argument of CimsErase must be string");

}

}

catch(System::Exception* ex)

{

acutPrintf("\n CimsErase could not be completed. Exception: %s",
ex->Message);

}

try
acutPrintf("File %s does not exist", (LPCSTR)str);
System::String is probably not automatically cast to (LPCSTR)

I get an error C2404 : 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'System::String
__gc *' to 'LPCSTR'. I tried with all LPSTR/LPCWSTR/...

I still cannot explain why the displaying is corect with debug version, but
not with release version.

Thanks anyway.

You can't cast directly, see "How do I convert
System::String __gc* to native wchar_t* or char*?" at
