BinaryString problem

[Joke758 1]

Why when I do this it's working:

Local $ah = String(BinaryString(FileRead("C:\test.zip")))

FileWrite ( "C:\hey.txt", BinaryString ( $ah ) )
;Working

You only posted 20 minutes before you bumped, give it a couple of hours at aleast.

What is your problem with what it is doing... showing code is wonderful and I encourage it, but explaining what you expect the code to do is also a great way to receive help.

Just use the first script

Well what part of the second one doesn't work? what parts need changed

does it result in something, but its just not how you like it?

As I understand you just want to make a copy of the .zip under .txt so FileCopy is the appropriate function.

Back to your understanding of the string, binarystring and fileread,filewrite

only fileread,filewrite is needed as filreread return a binarystring.

Local $ah = FileRead("C:\test.zip")

FileWrite ( "C:\hey.txt", $ah )

When you are using String to a binarystring you will troncate the binarystring to the first chr(0), so the remaining part will be lost

Local $ah = String(BinaryString(FileRead("C:\test.zip")))

FileWrite ( "C:\hey.txt", BinaryString ( $ah ) )
;Working, hey.txt is the same thing as test.zipoÝ÷ ØéßÙe{ej)æÊÇ¥}·­µêÖéÈ®éíçâ®Ëlr¸©¶²·b²Ø^±©¶§«-zËsî·^îØ^±ç(Ú'z²ÚÜmÊej)ç¢Øb7öjkzÛr²êÞÝý±ªk¡¹^­Ø^²ÚâÞq«¬{Múj§wMú¦Ë.¦,yÛhmëazƦyh^¬x§j¼¶¸§íí7é¨b·

I didn't succeed to explain the difference between yours scripts and mine.

Try mine I should work as your one which is working.

Why? Read the doc about Fileread,filewrite you will notice that those functions works with binarystring.

The one which is not working is because when you use the String function you truncate the binarystring to the first character equal to chr(0). that's the reason why it is not working
