Tim,
Since encodings shouldn't matter in this case since it's binary
data, I would use a binary stream and be sure to use the "B"
version of InStr and related calls as Charles used here. That
should be faster.
So I can assign a binary stream to a string property? The parse
will be definitely faster the larger the input file. I'll give
that a shot.
I just meant that you could read the file in with a binary stream
instead of a text stream. There have been speed issues with text
streams in the past, so I don't use them for binary files.
