I have a file that has a character then alternates with a null thru the entire file. When I open it in notepad i just see the characters next to each other no null or spaces. I see the nulls as squares in word if i open it that way. When i read the file i have to read it 1 byte at a time so that i can grab the character and skip the null, grap, skip and so on.

So i have 2 questions:

1. What kind of file is this and
2. Is there a better and faster way to read this than 1 byte at a time.

I am using CFile to read it right now.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
