Byte Conversion

[Kohinoor24]

I have a Problem with bytes.wstring in windows is 2 bytes & in linux 4 bytes.
In windows Iam doing as follows:
"Text" is of type Wstring.

char buffer[1];
int len = Text.size()*2;
// Converting to char
char *p = (char*)Text.c_str();

// here an algoritham,so that Iam taking the 1st 2 bytes .Iam doing this because,I want to swap the bytes(Little to BigEndian).& Iam writing it to stream.

for(int i=1; i<=len; i+=2)
{
for(int j =0;j<=1;j++)
{
buffer[j] = *p;
p++;
if (j ==1)
{
stream.write((Little2BigEndian(buffer,2)),2);
}
}
}

Little2BigEndian Function Does the swap.So In linux I want to convert the 4 bytes to bytes.How to do in accordance with my code .

Could any one Help?

Thanks

You could try to program a function which finds out which operatign system is installed and dle your conversion accordingly.
