How to serialize a text in CRichEditCtrl?

[workaholic]

I want my text written in CRichEditCtrl to output as plain text, and I
did this:
//in View:
void CLEView::OnFormatConvert()
{
CRichEditCtrl *pCtrl = &this->GetRichEditCtrl();
pCtrl->SetSel(0,-1);

this->GetDocument()->m_text = pCtrl->GetSelText();
}
//in Document:
void CLispEditorDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar)
{
if (ar.IsStoring())
{
ar<<m_text;// TODO: add storing code here
}
else
{
ar>>m_text;// TODO: add loading code here
}


}
But it turns out to be a complex text with lengthy ugly characters and
the useful part only exists in the rear of the file, why?
Thanks in advance!

Are you implying that GetSelText has returned you the rtf string?

Try using GetWindowText instead.

Well...it does reduce the last file's size from 16K to 4K, but it still
contains unknown characters, maybe I should not use CString?

CString is not the problem here.

What are these unknown characters?

If you enter a very simple string "ABC" - what are the contents of the
CString variable after you call GetWindowText?

These are my Serialize function, I add a AfxMessageBox(m_text), but the
dialog box proves the m_text is all right, I really where the problem is!
void CLispEditorDoc::Serialize(CArchive& ar)
{
POSITION pos = GetFirstViewPosition();
CRichEditView* pFirstView =(CRichEditView*) GetNextView( pos );

CRichEditCtrl *pCtrl = &pFirstView->GetRichEditCtrl();
pCtrl->GetWindowText(m_text);

if (ar.IsStoring())
{
ar<<m_text;// TODO: add storing code here
}
else
{
ar>>m_text;// TODO: add loading code here
}

// Calling the base class CRichEditDoc enables serialization
// of the container document's COleClientItem objects.
// TODO: set CRichEditDoc::m_bRTF = FALSE if you are serializing as text
CRichEditDoc::m_bRTF = FALSE;
CRichEditDoc::Serialize(ar);

}

thanks a lot!

CRichEditDoc::Serialize(ar);

I've never used a rich edit control (or the MFC document wrapper)
myself, but that must be doing something extra - and if you don't need
if why not try removing it?

Yeah, I have tried, but it seems that whether remove it or not doesn't
really matters,Thank you for attention!
