MFC Serialization

[Jon Vaughan]

Hi all,

I have a file that has been outputted from what I have been told is a MFC
serialization function in C++ and looks like the following when opened in
notepad :

??1.01??BPMStarTSP600.dll??9600 ??80mm x Cont.
Feed??0??COM10???192.168.0.1??80

The above file is a config file that is used by an external program, In my
code I have to change this config file each time I want to use the external
program. The problem lies in the fact that I have no idea how to recreate
this file as I dont understand its format ? etc.

Has anyone come across this file type and if so do they know the output type
and how I could re create it in VB.NET ?

Thanks

Jon

I have just looked back at my post and I have seen that it has been changed
in the output file where all the ?? are "??9600 ??80mm x Cont. Feed??0??"
They are displayed on my machine in notepad as squares - like this .

1.01?BPMStarTSP600.dll

mailed and the test that has been displayed is different...

this

??1.01??BPMStarTSP600.dll??9600 ??80mm x Cont.
Feed??0??COM10???192.168.0.1??80
