Displaying Espanish Caracters

Question

I have done a little bit of reading regarding printing Spanish characters on the console, apparently "SetConsoleCP(UINT)" can help me to - programmatically - reset the output code page, however, I cannot find information about choosing the value for the Spanish CodePage, I mean... something that would say something like: 'This is what you to set the CodePage for Spansih  SetConsoleCP("Spanish"); '. Examples on this issue are non existing!

Can any body help?

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the code pages on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb896001.aspx

But, I guess what you want is to use the codepage of the current operating system. This can be done with this:

setlocale( LC_ALL, "" );

Sets the locale to the default, which is the user-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system.

... don't forget #include <locale.h>

Hi del noble

Thanks for posting here.

 

To set the output code page used by the console associated with the calling process, you could use SetConsoleOutputCP function. To find the code pages that are installed or supported by the operating system, use the EnumSystemCodePages function. To determine whether a particular code page is valid, use the IsValidCodePage function. To retrieve more information about a code page, including its name, use the GetCPInfoEx function.

For a list of available code page identifiers, see Code Page Identifiers.
