I have an application that needs to send a hex code to a printer. The problem I am having is that it is sending a hex 22 charactor (which is a ") at the start and end of string.

How can I stop it sending the hex 22 at the start and end of the string ?

The variable is defined as:

Public g_open_code As String

g_open_code = Chr$(27) & Chr$(112) & Chr$(0) & Chr$(5) & Chr$(80)


The code that issues the command is:

Open w_strportname For Output As #w_freefile

Write #w_freefile, g_open_code

Close #w_freefile
