ReadVar Method

 Object: BinaryStream
 Syntax: ReadVar (long numBytes)
 Returns: An array of variants
 Description: From the current location in the file, this method reads numBytes from the file and returns an array of variants. This allows you to manipulate individual bytes within a script.
For performance purposes, it is not recommended that you read large files into memory on a Web Server, as this may significantly tax server resources.

Example:

   Set oFM = CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileManager")

	Set oBS = oFM.OpenBinaryFile( fileName )

	dim a
	dim b

	Do While Not oBS.AtEndOfStream

	a = oBS.ReadVar(5)

	' You can go through each single element
	b = Chr(a(1)) 

	loop
	oBS.Close
   Set oFM = nothing
