c++ CStdioFile::WriteString gives incorrect file output

The code snippet below causes bad result:

void CTesterDlg::OnClickedButtonTest()
{
  CStdioFile  myfile;
  CString strLine1;
  CString strLine2;
  myfile.Open(_T("D:\Test1.csv"), CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeCreate);
  strLine1 = L"01001,01001,2017-09-22,09:38:18.6,Alarm,STEERING PORT A – NO DATA RECEIVED,,,,0.0,Normal,0,1,0, ,127,0\n";
  strLine2 = L"Monkey, Animal\n";
  myfile.WriteString(strLine2);
  myfile.WriteString(strLine1);
  myfile.WriteString(strLine2);

  myfile.Close();
}

when looking inside Test1.csv file

Monkey, Animal
01001,01001,2017-09-22,09:38:18.6,Alarm,STEERING PORT A
Monkey, Animal

everything of the strLine1 after

"..PORT A" " – NO> DATA RECEIVED,,,,0.0,Normal,0,1,0, ,127,0\n"

was deleted ? Any ideas are welcome.

You have a string encoding problem. Notices that the – in your source code is an En-dash (Unicode code point U+2013), not a Hyphen-Minus. Change it to a Hyphen-Minus (Unicode code point U+002D) and your text should show up in the output file.
