remove bytes from binary file

[impulse24]

I have some files where I need to always remove the first 192 bytes. Is there a way to do this in vb6. I know how to open the file in binary mode, but it is not text data or records, so there is no consistency, I just need to remove the bytes.

Could you perhaps read the entire file into a byte array and then simply rewrite it starting with the 193rd byte?

 

[impulse24]

how do you read the file into a byte array. I have never done it before.

Use the Open statement in Binary mode.

Then you might be able to pop right over to 193 using Seek

Then you can do the read with Get and the write with Put

Dont forget to Close when you're done.
