Building a Process in Access

[Guest]

Is there a way to build a process that reads an input file
containing a string of alphanumeric characters and write
them to an output file.

Can you give us an example of what you want to do?

Yes; see the online help for the Open and Write # statements in the
VBA help.

I have file that when it is opened reads one continuous
line of alphanumeric characters separated by line feeds.
I want the data to be displayed (ouput) in a readable
format for analyasis. However, once the analaysis has
been completed the output file needs to be converted back
to its original format.

TransferText can be used to import each line as a record.
If all that is needed is analysis, then there is no need to rewrite the
file, just use the original.
