Read struct from .bin file!!!??

[xbennY0]

Is it possible to set data in a struct from a .bin file like in C? thx!

example in C++:

struct stAccount
{
    stSocket Socket;

    short Status;
    char PacketBuffer[2048];

    stDataBase DataBase;
};

stAccount Client[5000];

void Request::Login(stAccount *n_Client)
{
    p20D *Packet = (p20D*)&n_Client->PacketBuffer;

    FILE *hFile = NULL;
    char *TMP = new char[100];

    sprintf(TMP, "DataBase\\Accounts\\%c\\%s.bin", GetFirstKey(Packet->Username), Packet->Username);

    SecureZeroMemory(&n_Client->DataBase, sizeof(stDataBase));

    fopen_s(&hFile, TMP, "rb"); // read binary
    fread(&n_Client->DataBase, sizeof(stDataBase), 1, hFile); // "strcpy to struct"
    fclose(hFile);
}

I don't know c well but you can populate an autoit dllstruct with the contents of a file. Give a little more info on your goal.

For example... 

I have 100 folders and each of these folders have another 50 folders within, within those 5000 folders (100 folders * 50 in each one) there are 20 .txt files containing some text.

Something like this:

 

...folder 1:

   - sub folder[1-1]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

   - [...]

          - [...]

   - sub folder[1-50]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

------------------------------------------------------------------------

...folder 2:

   - sub folder[2-1]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

   - [...]

          - [...]

   - sub folder[2-50]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

------------------------------------------------------------------------

...folder 3:

   - sub folder[3-1]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

   - [...]

          - [...]

   - sub folder[3-50]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

------------------------------------------------------------------------

...[...]:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

...folder 100:

   - sub folder[100-1]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

   - [...]

          - [...]

   - sub folder[100-50]:

          - data[1].txt

          - [...]

          - data[20].txt

 

I need to get all this information (including the name of the folders) and put into a struct! is it possible?

thanks!

Of couse yes.

 

_FileListToArrayRec to search the txt. and fileread+dllstructure.

Woww!! Thx bro!

then I want to save the struct in a binary file for easier reading(to not need to use the folders)

can you make a simple example??

best regards.

I think no need to use structure for that.

You simple should use _FileListToArrayRec+fileread+filewrite or filecopy

but I want something to remove these folders! I don't want to use them... like make a binary file with everything inside, you see?

Do you mean like a zip file or something similar, with all the files in ?

[guinness]

SQL database?

How? this is a good idea?

There are examples of using archiving software to do what you want, do a search of the examples section for ZIP.

but I do not want to work with the folders!! I want them as structs

[BrewManNH]

Are you sure, do you even know what a struct is? What possible use would they be to you as a struct, and what would you do with the contents of this struct once yo've deleted the folders and put them inside it?

of course i know... I would save it in a .bin to read it later, exactly the example that I gave in c++

the idea is to merge everything into one file(as a binary for example) excluding the folders.

Do this in c++ is easy i don't know here in autoit...

thanks for your help bro!

xbennY0,

Why not just use _FileListToArrayRec to get all of these files into an array and then loop through it reading their content, adding this content to a single text file, and then deleting them? That sounds the quickest way of doing you want.

Although I would delete the files on a second pass - just in case something goes wrong.

Hm....but how i will be able to read this single file? is it possible put this contents(in the single file) in a struct to organize them?

Can you make a simple example?

thx again!

You still have not really explained why you keep on about putting all this mass of data into a struct. What advantage does it give you over a single text file containing the content of all the files? Perhaps if you gave us a concrete example of what these files contain and what you mean by "organise" we might be a little wiser.

Because it is easier to find one single file than 3.000. Because it transfers the program to a computer faster(with these folders takes about 15 minutes to transfer 3MB).

xbennY0,

If all you requires is all the data in one file, then what I suggested in post #16 above should be what you need.
