Reading full text file (via FSO) when file contains char code 0's

Andrew #1 / 3	Reading full text file (via FSO) when file contains char code 0's How do you read the entire contents of a text file when that file has char code 0's in the middle of it? Using ReadAll() on a TextStream object reads all of the text file up to the null chars, then none thereafter. objContent = objFSO.OpenTextFile(fileName, FORREADING, NOTOUCH); if (!objContent.atEndOfStream) fileContent = objContent.ReadAll(); I had half thought of XMLHTTP, however, the file is not on a servable path and that appears to err XMLHTTP. Anyone any thoughts on a solution, an alternative method or a work around? -- Andrew U o----------------------- http://www.--*.com/

Hi, You can try opening the file as Unicode, but this is not really supported -- it's called a _Text_ stream after all, and anything with embedded nulls isn't really a valid text file.

Hmmn, thanks Peter, I'll look into it. Of course if there was binary support ... ;o) -- Andrew U o----------------------- http://www.andrewu.co.uk
