I need to search through a binary file to find a specific string and then
replace it with another string. However the
System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII.Get String method i originally used seems to do
some character conversion. I also tried using UTF7-8 and Unicode
conversions, but the output is still converted. How do i get past this?
Thanks in advance,

ASCII = 7bit = characters 0 - 127 only

Which character encoding has been used to write into the file? You'd have to
know this first. If 1 character = 1 byte it's probably ANSI encoding
(System.Text.En coding.Default) .

Well, i just want the output to be exactly the same as the input. 0xFF =
0xFF and 0x7F = 0x7F and so on. I also tried the default encoding, but it
didn't work either. Any other suggestions?

You may want to use 'Encoding.Defau lt' to read the file with the
currently used codepage.

Sorry - you're both right. I overlooked a spot where i did the conversion
once more.
Thanks alot.

Could you please show an example how you read/convert/display chars?
If you want to convert to Char/String, you must know the source
encoding because the byte value(s) must be converted to Unicode as
Chars are always Unicode encoded.

FromEncrypt and encrypted are both byte arrays and encrypted's length is 24....

I've been reading the C standard online and I'm puzzled as to what multibyte
chars are. Wide chars I believe would be characters for languages such as
cantonese or Japanese. I know the ASCII character set specifies that each
character such as 'b' or 'B' is an 8 bit character. So what's a multibyte
character?
Also how would you use the function parameter main (char argc, char
**argv) if that's correct?

Is there a way to utilize the great primitive data type

I think it is unfortunate that i have to walk via System.String to do that.

Hi,
I have to go from Byte() to String, do some processing then reconvert the
String to byte() but using ascii format, not unicode.
I currently use a stream to write the char() (BinaryWriter.Write) from the
string (String.ToCharArray), then use Stream.ToArray to convert everything
to byte(). It works most of the time, but it happens that an error tells me
something like "Additional information: Caractère de substitution faible

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
