Read svb file (vb script) at once

[jcis]

This should be easy, but something is happening with these files, if I read as BINARY, the String I Get doesn't look like normal text, then if I convert the String using vbFromUnicode it gets fixed but a '?' char appears at the begining.

This is the code:

    Dim StrRet As String
    Open "C:\scr1.svb" For Binary As #1
       StrRet = Space(LOF(1))
        Get #1, , StrRet
    Close #1

Using that same code in normal TXT files works, but not for these SVB.
If I do StrRet = strconv(StrRet, vbFromUnicode) then the string is fixed, but then there is that ? symbol at the begining.

Thanks

Should not the extension be .vbs?

[jcis]

Well yes, it's the same. It's because This automated testing tool saves the script using svb like the file attached, but appart from the extension i don't think there is much difference.

What would be the problem if you will just eliminated those unwanted characters?

[jcis]

Yes, that would fix this case but i was thinking about other cases. i'll see how it reacts with other svb files.
