I have a client who is wanting data cleansing on their incoming file. One of
the things they are wanting is for us to check for Special Characters, I am
able to check for most but there are a few that I am unable to figure out
how to check for, mostly the Alt+Keypad charcters such as Alt+1:?, Alt+2?,
Alt+3: ? etc..

Can anyone tell me how to check for these characters reading in a text file
using VB.net?

Thanks in Advance!

Rick

And ask for ASCII Encoding, be aware that these characters are for every
keyboard setting different.

ASCII is only 7 bits. Extended ASCII is a name IBM gave to the 437 code set,
normally on modern Windows computer is the 1252 codeset used. (West European
languages).

Are you talking about holding down the Alt key and typing in a 1 2 or 3
digit number on the numeric keypad and what characters it produces?
Like on my keyboard
Alt + Keypad 78 = N
Alt + Keypad 99 = c
