I have some pcl documents with information embeded in the first couple of lines. These need to be removed bfore converting the pcl document to a tiff document to be imaged.

In vb6 I used:

VB

Put #outFile, , Replace(StrConv(InputB(LOF(fileNum), fileNum), vbUnicode), sString, "", 1, 1, vbBinaryCompare)

I am opening the file binary converting to a string and replacing the string, basically deltting the string and saving it to a new file. I have tried to code this in vb.net, but have not been able to make it work.

I found a way to accomplish what I needed.

VB

FileOpen(5, "C:\Temp\TempImg.pcl", OpenMode.Output)
Do Until EOF(fileNum)
    sString1 = LineInput(fileNum)
    position = InStr(sString1, "INDEXX:")
    If position > 0 Then
        sString = sString1
        sString1 = ""
    End If
    Print(5, sString1 & vbCrLf)
Loop
FileClose(5)
FileClose(fileNum)

imageFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllBytes"C:\Temp\TempImg.pcl")
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes(TempDir + sFileName, imageFile, False)
