Is there a way to create a file with different record lengths in VB .NET? I need to create a file that has a header record with a length of 88, any number of detail records with a length of 396 each, and a trailer record with a length of 91. There should not be any spaces after the final character in each record. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Just to eliminate the obvious; wouldn't a carriage return delimited text file allow you to determine each record's length and process accordingly?

Thanks. Your reply made me realize I was sending the spaces from my stored procedure in a char column. It's been a long week.
