Get BinaryLen() of file data, without loading the file in to a string?


Recommended Posts

Local $sFile = @ScriptDir & "index.html"
Local $nFileReadSize = FileGetSize($sFile)
Local $hFile = FileOpen($sFile)
Local $nFileBinarySize = BinaryLen( FileRead($hFile) )
FileClose($hFile)
 
The results are:
 
$nFileReadSize == 630
$nFileBinarySize == 622
 
I'm using this to send large files in chunks, and I cannot load the whole file in to a string with FileRead() due to memory limitations.  I'm also sending it via the web using http.  So, I must get the actual BinaryLen() for the http header somehow, without loading the whole file.  I'm stumped.
 
My current method has been to load the file in chunks at the initialization stage, calculate each step, and just save the number for any file greater than the memory threshhold.  Obviously this will scale badly!
 
Any ideas?  Thanks!   :huggles:

Use FileOpen in binary mode, else results are more or less meaningless.

Yes I know well, BOM or lack of can be anything in 0, 2, 3 or 4 bytes. Not 8.

My suggestion was only for a reliable file length result in binary (that's for the record).

UTF7 is a thing of the past, which AutoIt rightfully ignores.

Like trancexx knows by heart ( :bye:) UTF8 BOM is 3 bytes, UTF16 BOM (-LE or -BE) is one encoding unit, i.e. 2 bytes. UTF32 BOM (-LE or -BE) is again one encoding unit, i.e. 32-bit or 4 bytes.
