I have a listbox which items I want to save in a textfile. This one must be
ascii but so far as I found out the list elements are all unicode. How can
I convert this Unicode ones into good old Ascii ones? I already tried
StrConv(...,vbFromUnicode) but there only my debugger strikes? What shall I
do?
thx 4 any hint

Read up on the TextStream objects returned by the OpenTextFile and/or
CreateTextFile methods...

All strings in VBScript are Unicode internally. They will be converted to
ASCII when written to a TextStream opened in ASCII mode (which is the
default).
