Re[5]: argv revisited

["Andrew Robinson" <arobinson18 cox net>]

So is that how to actually get help on the GTK Dev forums? Beg for help? I
thought posting a problem would be enough, but okay then ... pretty please
help me ...

Your source code doesn't work, so let's compare environments. I have:

1) Windows7
2) Win32 version of GTK+, version 3.18
3) The pathname that doesn't work contains the UTF-16 character, U+2026
(ellipsis)

NOTE: The UTF-8 version of U+2026 is 0E280A6h, but Windows doesn't support
UTF-8.

Here is where the problem occurs (simplified):

  oSrcFilename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(oBtnSrcFile);
  g_file_get_contents(oSrcFilename,*ptrSrcCode,*lenFile,0);
 
gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_markup(oMsgSuccess,*szPrintfLong,lenFile);
  gtk_dialog_run(oMsgSuccess);
  gtk_widget_hide(oMsgSuccess)
  g_free(ptrSrcCode)

What I am doing is just printing out the size of any file I choose from the
file chooser of the application. It works perfectly for any file in any
directory other than the one containing the ellipsis. I looked at your code
and could see nothing different about it in this regards, so I question
whether you are actually trying this in the same or similar environment I am.
