Hi All my friends,

This is the Characters from an Tiff Image File I Want to read :

II*   þ                    @ Þ           @ Þ   Î   Ö    (   )  –  –  Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ Þ‚ Þ

Could some one tell me how to recognise the data hidden under these characters,
this line is the header information from TIFF image file, as it consists of Tags and Values for that tags. Is there any method without using APIs to convert these values to its original ones.

In VB though after reading this file in binary mode, the original values cant get visible.
Or I am missing something.

My Code :

Const Buffer=2
Dim strData As String

Open txtPath.Text For Binary Access Read As nHandle
lSize = LOF(nHandle)
If nHandle = 0 Then
Close nHandle
End If
ReDim Chunk(lSize - 1)
Get nHandle, , Chunk

For i = 1 To UBound(Chunk)
' Need to Print the Original Value
' either it may be String or a Numeric Value
' As XResolution: 1024
strData = Chr(Chunk(i))
Debug.Print strData
Next
Close nHandle

As Converting to Chr() again prints its Character Code ; I got really confounded to get exact results.

Looking for quick help....


Thanks in advance
