Hi I am trying to read binary file using FileSystem Object but it fails when it tries to read character x00 or xFF Following is code: if (fso.Fileexists(strappath&"base.dat")) then Set f = fso.Getfile(strappath&"base.dat") Set rf = f.OpenAsTextStream(1) stra= rf.readall rf.close end if Is there a way to read the Binary files using VBScript??

Reading the Binary file using FileSystem Object

Reading the Binary file using FileSystem Object
You can't do it normally. If you want a component that can do it: http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scripts.html (see bottom of page.)

Reading the Binary file using FileSystem Object
You can do it reading one by one each character until the end of the file. You can find a sample using this technique there : http://www.serialscripter.com/scripts/dumphexafile.html

Reading the Binary file using FileSystem Object
FileSystemObject does not support binary file access, so you can still use the original File I/O model in Visual Basic for binary file access. For example, reference the article HOWTO: Read and Display Binary Data in ASP (Q193998) at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q193998 for sample code.
Hope it helps.
