REMOVE BREAKS FROM A TEXTFILE 1

[PrgrmsAll]

I have a textfile that contains about 60,000 fixed width records (50-bytes). With VB, I need to open the file and remove the CRLFs so that I effectively have one long byte-stream (we are looking at about 3 MILLION characters).

I can open the file and read/write, etc. but can anyone tell me the best method for removing the line breaks and effectively concatenating this whole file into one big long text stream? I guess I am asking If there is a replace function I can use (replace <breaks> with <blanks>)?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is called Replace().

With New FileSystemObject
   NewString = Replace(.OpenTextFile("C:\myFile.Txt").ReadAll,vbCrLf," ")
End With
