Convert Binary to String

Question

I want to convert a password which is stored in binary to normal ASCII form so that i can read it. I need a VBscript for that and script should also return this de-crypted p

Answer 1

There are so many ways.

If it's a binary reg value then from Help (you did read it, didn't you)

The RegRead method returns values of the following five types.

Type  Description  In the Form of  
REG_SZ
 A string
 A string

REG_DWORD
 A number
 An integer

REG_BINARY
 A binary value
 A VBArray of integers

REG_EXPAND_SZ
 An expandable string (e.g., "%windir%\\calc.exe")
 A string

REG_MULTI_SZ
 An array of strings
 A VBArray of strings

If a string, split on space (gives you an array of strings). The least significant bit is 2^0, 2^1, ..., 2^7.

The normal way, not the only way though, to store a password, is to dump it in the registry.

Reading it gives you an array, not a scalar variable. So ...

The second method, handles cases where it's stored in a file.
