Skitty Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Is it possible to write binary data to an ini file and retrieve it? Or am I gonna have to convert the binary data to something else, like hex (if that even works..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 7, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2011 System238,To the best of my knowledge, ini files are limited to the printable characters, so any attempt to save binary directly to the file is likely to cause problems - such as inadvertant EOF. Your idea of converting it to hex seems to best way to go - there are a number of Binary and String functions to help you.
