Need to Build a Conversion Process

[Guest]

I need someone to help walk me through creating a
conversion process that reads in input file containing a
string of alphanumeric characters and write them to an
output file in a readable format. Instead of one
continuous line of alphanumeric characters separate by
line feeds. Once an analysis has been completed, the
output file needs to be converted back to its original
format (one continuous line of alphanumeric characters
separated by line feeds.

would this be of any use,
straight from Access help system.... "input"


if you need a new line then use the Access Constant vbcrlf

This example uses the Input function to read one character at a time from a
file and print it to the Debug window. This example assumes that TESTFILE is
a text file with a few lines of sample data.

Dim MyChar
Open "TESTFILE" For Input As #1 ' Open file.
Do While Not EOF(1) ' Loop until end of file.
MyChar = Input(1, #1) ' Get one character.
Debug.Print MyChar ' Print to Debug window.
Loop
Close #1 ' Close file.


then do the processing and write the new line out to a new file

You may find the following post in the Google newsgroup archive of some use.
It deals with one specific issue, but along the way it demonstrates some
general techniques for using old-fashioned BASIC I/O code.
