ReadVar Method

Object: BinaryStream
Syntax: ReadVar (long numBytes)
Returns: An array of variants
Description: From the current location in the file, this method reads numBytes from the file and returns an array of variants. This allows you to manipulate individual bytes within a script.

Note:For performance purposes, it is not recommended that you read large files into memory on a Web Server, as this may significantly tax server resources.

Example:

Set oFM = CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileManager") Set oBS = oFM.OpenBinaryFile(
      fileName ) dim a dim b Do While Not oBS.AtEndOfStream a = oBS.ReadVar(5) ' You can
      go through each single element b = Chr(a(1)) loop oBS.Close Set oFM = nothing
