I don't even know if this is possible using VB, but here is something that I know would be useful.
Automatically (by command line) open a file
Find a single hex value (or a string of hex) depending on the command line switch
Convert each occurrence of the hex value (or string) to a different value
Save the file with the same name
While this could be done using a text editor quite easily, that requires user input. A distributable component can be called in the middle of a transformation from one input format on the fly would be useful. For example: UNIX to DOS, if a delimiter is a “non-printable, non-viewable” character, or if a delimiter like (’) as in O’Leary would cause an exception during processing.

If anyone has any ideas, I would like to see them.
