NULL character ?

[tb2007]

I need to make txt file with NULL character, for some kind of testing in VB app. How to do this?

 

[rmnastor]

goto dos prompt
eg.
c:\>copy con null.txt
[press alt+256]^Z

From within the VB program, you can do this:

         dim FileNumber as integer

         ' Open a file and send it a null character.
         ' Then close the file
         FileNumber = FreeFile
         On Error Resume Next
         Open "C:\Temp\Null.txt" For Binary As FileNumber
         Print #FileNumber, vbNull
         Close FileNumber
         On Error GoTo 0

Hope this helps.

If it ain't broke, it probably needs improvement.
