Reading in from a file with NULL characters

Here's my dilemma: I'm trying to read in a portion of a file into a string, BUT the portion I want to read into the string is NULL character delimited! I know PB uses a null-termination on strings, so the string is set to NULL soon as the string encounters its first delimiter!

I know I can use FileReadEx into a blob, but I'm having all kinds of issues with this simple parsing! Anyone have any suggestions?
