Wow! You don't even have to post a recognisable human language in spam threads any more!

*edit* To answer your question, this isn't code. This is what you get when you try to open something with the wrong application. *edit*

He's right. A lot of my assembler programs produce that kind of result too <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

[WHO]Them

any file that doesn't restrict itself to readable characters will show that garbage.

You gentlemen are looking at the ~150 *other* characters in the ascii table.

BlackMage

yep, tell us the file extension

Phoenix_Six

am I right or wrong in thinking those numbers are machine language (one's and zero's, perhaps from a compiled program) that are just interpreted by the text editor as ASCII characters?

Zaphod

You are exactly right. It's just the editor picking off 8 bits at a time and figuring out what the associated ASCII character is. It's not like anybody codes like this. There are probably some line feeds and other characters you cant see in there <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
