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")

success = sb.Shorten(3)

outFile.WriteLine(sb.GetAsString())

' Output is: 0123456789ABC

outFile.Close
