Reading the content of binary file using Visual Basic (VBA)
The below code snippet demonstrates how to read the binary content into the variable of type Byte() from the specified file in Visual Basic 6 (VBA).
Dim content As Byte()
content = ReadByteArrFromFile("C:\MyFolder\MyFile.dat")
Code will generate an exception if file doesn't exist or cannot be read.
Function ReadByteArrFromFile(filePath) As Byte()
Dim buff() As Byte
Dim fileNumb As Integer
fileNumb = FreeFile
Open filePath For Binary Access Read As fileNumb
ReDim buff(0 To LOF(fileNumb) - 1)
Get fileNumb, , buff
Close fileNumb
ReadByteArrFromFile = buff
End Function
