I am having a problem with reading ASCII text from a text document. I have a document with a random piece of writing in, and i have tried using Input and Line Input. I load the text into a string, then carry out the rest of my code, which prints the new data of the same length (old data but encrypted) back to the file. When i try to run the encrypted data back through the code, only half of the data is loaded into hte string, for some reason, it stops at this character " ". That is the character after the last character loaded which is an underscore. The total length of the loaded information is 179 characters and it appears to have been written back to the text file in four lines rather than 1 long one. If anybody could enlighten me as to what the problem may be i would be extremely grateful. Thank you

Can you post your code ? . I think problem is there....

The problem is probably with your encrypted code. Probably one of the encrypted character is char(26) which is the eof marker so input and line input won't read past this character.
