CArchive is not intended to read common text files. It is used to save and store a binary representation of the data used by your application (commonly the data hold by your CDocument class).

If you use the CArchive string functions, they will use Unicode strings with Unicode builds and multi byte strings with non Unicode builds.

If you want to read common text files, use any other file I/O method like CFile, streams, or the C standard library f functions to read the text as is (binary) into a buffer and convert aftwerwards if necessary (e.g. convert ANSI text to Unicode to be displayed with Unicode applications). See Handling simple text files in C/C++[^] for converting text to other encodings.
