ASCII_Read + ASCII_Save

Reads and saves text file giving its full name
Used a lot in my websites, very handy tool
ReadMethod ...
' =1, reads/saves using ADODB stream, used for UTF-8 Unicode files.
' =2, reads/saves using FileSystemObject, does not work with UTF-8

Edit 2020-10-13: Add ability to avoid error if file is 0 bytes during read
