Hello Again,

I have resolved my problem, the char * I tried to read was a bstr.
To make it readable as normal char * it need to be cast to ASCII char * via this kind of func :

void BSTRtoASC (BSTR str,char * resultat){
	if ( str != NULL ) {
		unsigned long length = WideCharToMultiByte (CP_ACP,0, str,SysStringLen(str), NULL, 0,NULL, NULL	);
		length = WideCharToMultiByte (CP_ACP,0, str,SysStringLen(str), resultat, length,NULL, NULL	);
		resultat[length] = '\0';
	}
}



Have a good day
