[Solved] Error allocating memory for a 6 MB file


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello! I am having problem with using file read...

f7683dc5a8fab1924e567f1e08b7fed1.png

Here is my code:

#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

Local Const $CHUNK = 1024
Local $hFile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & '\test.bin', $FO_APPEND)
Local $iCurrentPos = 0

Do
    $iCurrentPos += $CHUNK
    $bFileSetPos = FileSetPos($hFile, $iCurrentPos, $FILE_END)
    $vData = FileRead($hFile)
    $vData = BinaryToString($vData)
    MsgBox(0, 0, $vData)
    $iStringPos = StringInStr($vData, "Test", $STR_NOCASESENSEBASIC)
Until Not ($iStringPos = 0) Or $bFileSetPos = False
FileClose($hFile)

MsgBox($MB_OK, "Success", $iStringPos)

Here is the 6 MB file: <Attachment Deleted>

 

Thanks in Advance! TD :D

You have to define the number of bytes to read in FileRead as well. Else you read the whole file every time.

@water Huh? :huh:

I remember that FileRead reads from the position set by FileSetPos, my previous version of code just did that.

Even if it did read the whole file, I think it would be easy to store 6 MB of data... This is my test script which I use to read the whole file:

ConsoleWrite(FileRead(@ScriptDir & '\test.bin'))
MsgBox(0,0,0)

I tried that now, I set the number of bytes to read to $iCurrentPos, Now for some reason the script is looping indefinitely.

 

TD :)

Can you please describe what you try to do?
Now you

  • Open the file in write/append mode - but you only read the content
  • You use FileSetPos from the end of the file - do you really try to read the file from end to start?
  • You increment $iCurrentPos - but my understanding is that this should be a negative number for FileSetPos from the end of the file
  • You always read the file from the set position to the end - the longer you loop the more data you read
  • Error checking is not done when an error could occur (after FileSetPos or FileRead) - so you might process data in an inconsistant state

I am trying to read the footer of a file (in this case "Test" indicates where the footer starts from) :)

The code is from a function in my original code, I returned the read data.

Yep, it is necessary to read the footer :D

Silly me! That fixed the problem :D

 

Thanks water! You solved my problem by asking questions! That is simply great! :thumbsup:

This is the code which worked for me :D:

#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

Local Const $CHUNK = 1024
Local $hFile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & '\test.bin', $FO_APPEND)
Local $iCurrentPos = 0
Local $bFileSetPos = True

Do
    $iCurrentPos -= $CHUNK
    $bFileSetPos = FileSetPos($hFile, $iCurrentPos, $FILE_END)
    $vData = FileRead($hFile, $iCurrentPos)
    $vData = BinaryToString($vData)
    $iStringPos = StringInStr($vData, "Test", $STR_NOCASESENSEBASIC)
Until Not ($iStringPos = 0) Or $bFileSetPos = False
FileClose($hFile)

MsgBox($MB_OK, "Success", $iStringPos)

But I still don't understand why there was a memory allocation error in my faulty code :think:

Glad the problem could be solved :) 
But I still think it is a lot of overhead to check a 6MB file ;)

If you need the footer only, then read the file from the end.

My grandmother can code that - while she is knitting at the same time. She can multitask. You have to figure that out yourself young man.

No, his grandmother is a woman. And women are able to multitask. At least that's what they try to tell us.

Guess what I found in the help file :)

"A count value that is too large can lead to AutoIt stopping with a memory allocation failure."
