How can i open a file ascii???

[r0ach]

Huh??

Open "C:\file.txt" for input as #1

?????

NEVER use #1...

dim MyFile as byte
Myfile = freefile
open "whatever" for append as #myfile
'add stuff to file
close #myfile

note: do not declare "Freefile"

[r0ach]

You'll have to open it in binary, and then convert it to Hex

[markwestcott]

What would be the code to do this?

[r0ach]

Prolly sumptin like:

Dim MyFile as byte
Dim i as integer
Dim strBin as string
Open "whatever" for binary as MyFile
For i = 1 to LOF(MyFile)
    Get MyFile, i, strBin
    Text1 = Text1 & strBin
    strBin = Hex(Asc(strBin))
    Text2 = Text2 & " " & strBin
Next
Close MyFile

I dunno

here what i did and it not working look

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim MyFile As Byte
Dim i As Integer
Dim strBin As String
Dim B
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

Open CommonDialog1.filename For Binary As MyFile
For i = 1 To LOF(MyFile)
Get MyFile, i, strBin
Text1 = Text1 & strBin
strBin = Hex(Asc(strBin))
Text2 = Text2 & " " & strBin
Next
Close MyFile
End Sub

[r0ach]

Oops, my mistake.
You should put
MyFile = freefile
before opening the file. sorry

i just got a voer flow on
For i = 1 To LOF(MyFile)

[r0ach]

change
Dim i as integer
to
Dim i as long.

I just quickly threw that together. Don't trust it.

now im getting a invaild call or arugment on
strBin = Hex(Asc(strBin))

[r0ach]

Works for me!
What's the value of strBin, when you get the error??

[XxEvilxX]

nothing

[r0ach]

change
Dim strBin As String
to
Dim strBin As String * 1

be prepared to wait a while though
