Hi I have got a file that I would like to parse. I believe it was created with VB5. It is fixed length. I have worked out where the break point is for each record. The majority of the data is in plain text which I can read & parse via filetostr().
This leaves NUMERIC amounts, these are displayed as strange symbols in a hex reader. I think the numbers will be in 999999.99 format. Looking at the hex figures I have created this info from the original exe for 0.00,0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05 num 0.00 0000 0000 0000 0.01 00AE D723 3C00 0.02 00AE D7A3 3C00 0.03 008F C2F5 3C00 0.04 000A D723 3D00 0.05 00CD CC4C 3D00 How do I get this Hex info translated back to numeric ie 00AE D723 3C00 back to 0.01 ? Also do I have to then use Low-Level File Functions to read this info?
