   There is not a single answer to what you are asking. The answer depends to   
   what you want to do. For example, you want to reject all the non readable   
   characters (with ASCII code below 0x20 or 32 in decimal) or just to read a   
   fixed amount of data that would fill a line in Wordpad and append to that   
   the Carriage Return - Line Feed characters at the end? Or...
