I need to read a .ndf (neutral database file). I just started using VB 3 days ago and I want to read character by character through the code and rewrite each character value on a separate line. I was trying to use StreamReader then convert the contents with the Asc() function, but that only worked for the first character in the file. Is there a way to ready character. I am also using the StreamWriter. Is there a way I could loop a read-convert-write move to next character? Since I am unable to upload the .ndf file I included a small portion of the file below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!
This is what I used to read the code
CODE
Dim strContents As String
Dim objReader As StreamReader
Try
objReader = New StreamReader(FullPath)
strContents = objReader.ReadToEnd()
strContents = Asc(strContents2)
objReader.Close()
Return strContents
End Try
here is a small portion on the file I am working with.
