How do I read bytes in a file?
I have my file (it is a QDX file if anyone is familiar with that...) and I need to read the last 4 bits of the 559th byte in this file using vb.net or vbscript. I've looked at a few other methods on here but can't get any of them to work. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

The offset probably needs to be 558 rather than 559.

This worked perfectly, thanks! Can you explain the 'mask' part so I can sort of grasp what you did? Thanks!
The mask is for "and I need to read the last 4 bits". 15 in binary is 0000 1111, and when you AND that value with another value, you get the values of the last four bits.
