My coworker put the following together which takes a very long time because it is basically iterating through millions of characters in the file:. I guess the problem is in the Chr Asc 0 call. Asc expects a string and you are providing a number. You only need to put Chr 0. Or possibly vbNullChar or whatever it is can't remember. Hi SalmiSoft and thanks. I did realize that about the Asc call and switched Chr with Asc but it seems it is the Write that's erroring because the newStrCharacters holds data, it's just not writing it to the new file.

However, the end results of strClean2 and 3 are lines printed where regular letters are replaced with null characters that I cannot even display here but they look like little squares. However, each line can have hundreds, if not a plus characters in it and each file can have up to about , lines so going about it this way is not too quick or efficient. The null character is at the beginning and middle of the line. Here's the line:. I mean the vbscript takes about 15 minutes to go through each line and do it's thing.

I tried your suggestion but I get "Expected End of Statement" errors. Thanks though. Well my solution has been built in the form of VBA. The following does what I need and it works way faster than the script I have.
