Unwanted Codes in Rich Text Boxes
I've written a VB 6.0 program that uses the Rich Text Box tool to display large blocks of text. Sometimes I'll save a recording using one of these text boxes, and the next time I open it, there are all these codes mixed in with the text like this for example:
{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl
Needless to say, it makes the text hard to read. How can I prevent this from happening? Also, is there any way I can cut out blocks that have been "polluted" by the codes and strip to codes out so I can save them clean?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

If you are using the .savefile command with rich text box add a 1 at the end:
RichTextBox1.SaveFile "myfilename.txt", 1
-Jeff
RichTextBox1.SaveFile "myfilename.txt", 1
-Jeff
I was going to sugggest the converse:
RichTextBox1.SaveFile "yourfilepath&name.txt", rtfText ' rtfText = 1; the default is 0 (rtfRTF)
RichTextBox1.SaveFile "yourfilepath&name.txt", rtfText ' rtfText = 1; the default is 0 (rtfRTF)
But be carefull - You are going to lose any formating like diferent fonts, colors, sizes etc. if you will save your .RTF file as regular text
Is this what are you want?

I should have mentioned that I'm saving this to an Access database using ADO, so I don't know if any of the tricks listed above will help me out.
As far as losing formatting; I'd like to keep indents and what-not, but if that's not possible, I guess it's worth it to lose all those foreign characters.

why are you using the rich text box control(i guess you are not using any formatting in the text box)...you can use text box and change it to multiline and scroll bar set to vertical....

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\de
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang10
\par }
if you use .Text property it will reture

Sorry about that, gentlemen. I need to understand better how this site works. Where is the most concise explanation of the points system?
RichTextBox1.LoadFile "yourfilepath&name.rtf", 0
