please help me....If you know how to do this please help me and do me the favour.....please
Thanks you very very very much in advance...

- Read every hex 85, 1F, etc
- Parse every hex to covert it to char

Dim c as char
c = (char)int.Parse(hex, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber)

- you can add 'if' statement to escape 85 and replace it with '\r\n'

Here's a VB.NET version of the code above (this is a VB.NET forum :) )
Dim c As Char
c = CChar(CStr(Integer.Parse(Hex, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber)))

and instead of '\r\n', use Environment.NewLine

Thanks Teme, so much, I tried to convert my C# knowledge to VB.NET but seems it doesn't work :D
Thank you so much really..
