Mayayana,

:-) But thats the problem: You have /way/ more than 256 possible values in 
that string.   You're using VBScript, in it internally stores its text in 
widechars (two bytes a piece), meaning you've got not (just) 256, but 65536 
values on your hands.

Thats odd.    Could you show the code you're using to display the Asc values 
of your webpage string ?    And could you retry with a fully ASCII string 
(just to see if its the code or the string thats causing the problems) ?

And you could also try to pull your string thru that function I posted - 
just to see if it has got the same problem.

Don't forget the under zero ones.   You're working with signed ints. (Its 
what bit me in the behind the first time :-) ).

And I'm not quite sure I follow.  Wasn't the problem with saving to a 
textfile ?
