Hi Bret & Cindy,

I've just finished answering in another thread. One caution here: strtofile technique would work only for files less than 16MB. If the files are huge, I don't know any other alternatives than low-level functions.

Of course, Ed may suggest something with WSH object here :)

assuming CHR(13) is the one you want to strip out. If you want to put them back in later maybe you could replace them with something not commonly used like "~" or "`".
