I'm trying to get an array of "characters" for some character-by- character parsing and here is how I'm doing it:

dim f As FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem("????")
dim io As BinaryStream = f.OpenAsBinary(false)
dim chars() As String = Split(io.Read(io.length),"")

I'm wondering if this is the "fastest" way to do it in RB without plugins or declares. Obviously it works fine on some small files, but seems too long in other cases. Perhaps I need to wrap this another way and do "chunks" of the file at a time??

Comments and suggestions are encouraged.

Read it into a memory block and use the byte accessor ?
Probably faster than a split especially if the block is really large
