Hello...
I was wondering if anyone could show me how to read a fixed-width file and how to go about writing a fixed-width file. I know in VB6 you could use something like:
Dim aa as String * 10
to created a fixed-width string but this is no longer supported. I have done some research on the internet and the only thing I can come up with is setting a reference Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.FixedLengthString.
But I have no clue as to how to go about using this.
I have a large file (fixed-length) that I need to open, read and manipulate and then write the data to an output file in fixed width format.
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
