Personally for Kedaman!

OK Kedaman,

you showed me how to get an entire text file into a string yesterday. I figure out how to output an entire textbox to a file by using PUT without using any loops.

Here is my question. I tried your GET with a Microsoft Document. It works too. It placed the content of the file into the string but when I assigned text1.text = sBuffer, nothing shows except for a couple of symbols.

If I place a richtextbox on my form and do a LOADFILE("C:\Microsoft Word Document"), then it place everything in the richtextbox.

How can I do it similar to richtextbox using your GET method?

WHat the textbox does, is
1. limits the text to 65536 characters
2. Cuts of the rest of the string (sBuffer) on the first nullchar that's chr(0)
3. Displays the ascii data that is left, only symbols and **** you know.

The Richtextbox has inbuild interpreting of MS Word Documents and some other types like Richtext files. Now what Loadfile does is opens that file and start building that document from the data, well that's a heck of a algoritm so i don't you can do that in a easy way with Get. And Not ever put it in a textbox! Maybe you could have the formated rich text and pictures and stuff drawn on the form but i wouldn't recommend you start working on that, don't reinvent the wheel!

Ah, thanks for directing this post just for me but i'm not sure, some of the others could also have answered in my place :)

I directed this post to you because you helped me with Get # yesterday. That made me think that you know your stuff.

Thanks :)
