Xavier,
The Mid statement replaces a specified number of characters with
characters from another string.
Your example , which I assume is actually 'Mid(text, position, 5) = "
" ',
would replace characters in 'text' starting at 'position' with five
spaces.
About the bad characters, we could probably use some information as to
their ASCII value. Files often
use control characters below 32 for formatting, 'return' ASCII 13, 'line
feed' ASCII 10, 'form feed' ASCII 12...
ASCII values above 128 are often used for international characters and
character graphics.
Hope this helps,
