VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

set sb = CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")

' Load a file that contains this string:  0123456789ABCDEF
success = sb.LoadFile("qa_data/txt/remove_chars.txt","utf-8")

' Return "56789A" from the string.
' if removeFlag is 1, the returned string is also removed from the sb.
removeFlag = 1
result = sb.GetRange(5,6,removeFlag)

outFile.WriteLine(result)
outFile.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString())

' Output is: 
' 
' 56789A
' 01234BCDE

outFile.Close
