I thought I'd make a quick utility for myself to extract all ASCII "printable" characters from a file, but unfortunately, this code causes my app to hang when I run it. Can you tell me where I went wrong? (BTW, this is just a quickie, don't yell at me for lack of naming conventions and error handling!)
TIA for your help ...Code:' in a command button Dim lnglen As Long Dim strchar As String * 1 Dim lngX As Long Dim intFF As Integer CommonDialog1.ShowOpen intFF = FreeFile Open CommonDialog1.filename For Binary Access Read As #intFF lnglen = LOF(intFF) For lngX = 1 To lnglen Get #intFF, lngX, strchar If Asc(strchar) >= 32 And Asc(strchar) <= 127 Then Text1.Text = Text1.Text & strchar End If Next Close #intFF
