storing decoded files in memory instead of temp file

[mustakbal]

I was wondering if in VB6, the contents of a decoded file could be stored in memory instead of in a temporary file. I found out that this could be done in VB.Net right "after using DecodeToByte to obtain the file contents, you would then convert the byte data to a string which can be manipulated as needed:". The code to use is:

[CODE=vbnet]'Decode file from base64
Dim bt64 As Byte() = DecodeToByte(sr c1)
'Convert byte data into a string
Dim fileData As String = Encoding.Defaul t.GetString(bt6 4)
'Split string into individual lines
Dim fileLines As String() = fileData.Split( ControlChars.Cr Lf)
'Set label text to appropriate line
Label1.Text = fileLines(index 1)[/CODE]

Can this code, or something similar, be used in VB6?
Thanks in advance.
