Hi, I have the following problem with my VB code: accented characters are
being transformed into a cr-lf pair!

I am reading a sequence of bytes from a binary file, one part of which is a
text string.
Here is a code snippet:

Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\test.bin", FileMode.Open)
Dim br As New BinaryReader(fs)
Dim str As String

str = br.ReadChars(10)
Debug.WriteLine(str)

if the test.bin file contains the characters 1234567890, there is no
problem: the output is
1234567890


but if it contains the text 12345à7890 then i get an output of :
12345
7890

Any accented character is turned into a cr-lf pair!
How can I read in a 10 byte binary sequence and store it as a string?

Thanks for any pointers,
James

James,

You have to pass in the appropriate Encoding to the BinaryReader
constructor.

Thanks for that,
