Anyone know if ther is a way to read superscript from a MS Office document.

More specifically, I'm currently trying to read a CSV file witten with Exel.
The problem is that sometimes there are some superscript characters like exponents or footnote references.

example:

Excel: n=9x(36*10[sup]4[/sup]) EDITED: Appearently this forum doesn't support "superscript" in BBcode, but you should get the idea.

How can I detect or read this with VDS?

Thanks in advance,

Aslan

I see what you mean, VDS5 doesnt see it at all it appears.
I just copy/paste a underlined C from a webpage and tryed to get its @CHR(number) by way of my VDS ACSII converter and it saw it as @CHR(99).

Yeah, key word "ASCII"

I don't think ASCII has any "superscript","postscript","strikethrough", or "underline" reference. I believe VDS will only read ASCII therefore, VDS can't translate it so it ignores it.

Aslan,
You may need to use BINFILE to read that? Those are control characters that you are trying to read. If you could post a sample of the file you are trying to read then I may be able to help you.
