Hopefully Easy VB6 read & write data to a file

Good Day All,

I can't believe this is giving me problems.  Every day, a file is deposited on our web server.
Unfortunately, the file that is deposited is exported from an application before it is dumped on
our web server.  As a result, some nasty characters work it's way into the file.

My dilemma, I'm writing a small VB app that takes this file reads it one character at a time,
filters the character (example:  if asc(character) = 9 then disregard ' No tabs wanted...) to
see if it's between A-Z, and if so, write the character out to a new file.  Fortunately for me,
the file will never be over 2K.

But I can't seem to find code out there that does what I want.

PSUEDOCODE----------------------------
open input file
open output file
while not eof(input file)
    read a character from the input file
    if the character <> ASC(9) then              ' do not want TABS in output file
        write character to the output file
    end if
wend
close input file
close output file

PSUEDOCODE----------------------------

Any help will be appreciated.  If needed, I'll add points if the solution warrants it.

TIA,
