anyone know how to read a file in vb
like read file.txt text form file go to text1.text

and write to file

I do.

Dim FileData As String
Open "c:\file.txt" For Binary Access Read As #1
FileData = Space(LOF(1))
Get 1, , FileData
Close #1

That'll read.

Open "c:\text1.txt" For Binary Access Write As #1
Put 1, , FileData
Close #1

That'll write...

You can also read and write to the same file at the same time.

Dim FileData As String
Open "c:\blabla.txt" For Binary Access Read Write As #1
FileData = Space(LOF(1))
Get 1, , FileData
Put 1, , "stuff" & FileData
Close #1

Easy enough?

ummmm..... im readin it learn it

hows about in the dame dir as the app?

Well, not certain about the sex of the object but:

App.Path

works for the current path.

you might need to append a "\" before your file name tho.

like FileSpec = App.Path & "\myfile.txt"

I'm doing like you said, but when I execute the following error appears:

Runtime Error: 75
Path/File access error

Please, answer me on my email. Thanks!

In fact, I’d like to read the contents of a binary file, find an specific string in it and finally change this string with another one I want, writing it on the same file, keeping the binary aspect and not damaging the file. As we do using hexdecimal editors.

How can I do it?

Please, answer me on my email.
Thanks.
