Re: reading and writing binary data with a file

"3
34"

Because there is a break in the data. In debug mode, the text data has two boxes where the end-of-line and return characters go.

Anyway, does anyone have any example code of binary level reading and writing to and from a file?
Use the "Binary" mode, eg
Code:
Open "myfile" For Binary As #1
You then use the Get and Put statements to read/write data.

Please read the docs first, though. Binary mode files do not know sizes of data blocks; it loads enough data to fill the variable.
