3Did you check wcstombs? http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/wcstombs/ – vpram86 Oct 06 '09 at 13:12

I think you will need to give us some more details. What unicode format do you have now and which multibyte encoding do you want to use? – Rik Heywood Oct 06 '09 at 13:12

std::string NarrowString(const std::wstring& str, const char* localeName = "C")
{
std::string result;
result.resize(str.size());
std::locale loc(localeName);
std::use_facet<std::ctype<wchar_t> >(loc).narrow(
str.c_str(), str.c_str() + str.size(), '?', &*result.begin());
return result;
}
It should use the current locale to convert the unicode string. For the caracters that do not belong in the codepage the '?' caracter is being used. Tested with Visual C++ 2005/2008.

Good, but how to detect if it was successfully converted or an '?' was used for a character? Round trip conversion?? – Narek Nov 20 '12 at 07:55

+1 for good resource. Can you share any resource to convert the reverse one? Means, from Multibyte to Unicode? – Md Mahbubur Rahman Oct 03 '13 at 08:55
