Hello everyone!

I want to search a data file for a special string - the problem is that
there are many characters which BETA's file.get cannot read. The
algorithm works very well as I have tested with a simple text-file that
contains the string that I want to search for.
But within that data-file there are some characters which e.g.
Microsoft's Wordpad can read, but Microsoft's Notepad does not - as
BETA.

So my question is: is there a possibility to read "unreadable"
characters which might not be visualizable on the "normal" screen (but
Wordpad can!) ?

Kind regards

Sascha Kimmel
