    Removing leading Box [][][] characters.

    While reading an ID3 tag, there are a bunch of box [] characters that destroy what ever comes after them (for some reason!!), so I need to... destroy them. What ascii or chr() character is the box [] character???

    (Just a heads-up)

    I guess your problem is this: the font you are using don't support the characters you get and are displayed as boxes, that depends on the font... But what destroys the rest of the characters might just be a null character, asc=0. If you are using a textbox then the character will terminate the string displayed.
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
