Hi,
OK so did some rework, and found that it was the way it was pulling it from the messy original text file. I actually cleaned up the line first, taking out any hashes, symbols etc.. however, you are right, there was a chr$(0) preceding it, that I never saw. N++ allowed me to view it, so a simple ctrl-h did the trick and eliminated it.
still though, string manipulation is tricky with qb64. wish it had a "replace" "remove" function for removing substrings from strings, I used php heavily so str_replace works like magic LOL. but it is "basic" LOL.
thanks for the chr$(0) tip. text file is cleaned up now.
ps
I think I am under Dark4ngel under the old forum...
