Can someone please help me!

When you open a dll file or data file in notepad you see alot of weird writing that is unreadable. I was wondering how I could write information from strings and integers to a file and then make it look like that weird writing? Also how would I turn it back into readable writing so visual basic can understand the strings and integers?

Thanks in advance.

You probably want some sort of encryption/decryption solution. Do a search on this forum for encryption and you will find plenty of samples!

What you can do is encrypt the text before you write it to the file, then when you read the text you decrypt it again so you can use the contents for your program.

a dll file is however not encrypted, only compiled from some language to binary file...
if you open a dll file in a hex editor, it can make some sense...but not much
a free hex editor is available on www.analogx.com

hi,

for this u write encryption code and use decryption code to decrypt it.

or when writing into a text file use asc(character) it converts into ascii values.
