[2005] Remove hex 1A character from txt file??

[burwelj]

Hello,

I have a text file with a character (hex 1A) that I would like to remove. I'm having troubles writing a script to do this. I'm new to VB and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Something like the following will remove all 0x1A characters from the file.

Using f As FileStream = File.OpenRead("path\file")
  Using sr As New StreamReader(f)
    Dim text As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
    text = text.Replace(CChar(&H1A), String.Empty)
  End Using
End Using

Thank you very much!

Sorry, I forgot all about actually writing to the file.
Here's some more sensible code.

Dim text As String
 
Using sr As New StreamReader("path\to\file")
  text = sr.ReadToEnd()
  text = text.Replace(CChar(&H1A).ToString(), String.Empty)
End Using
 
Using sw As New StreamWriter("path\to\file")
  sw.Write(text)
End Using
