FileRead Bug

[Nemcija]

Huhu,

I've got a big problem with FileRead()

For example i have got a File: (calculated by an other program)

[...] 07 7C 20 00 - 7D 60 A1 B0 - 12 41 D1 0D - 30 FF [...]

Now i read it out (FileRead) and write it down again into an other file.. (exactly the same data)

This will be the output:

[...] 07 7C 20 00 - 7D 60 A1 B0 - 12 41 D1 0D - 0A 30 FF [...]

Am I too stupid, or is it a bug?

I know 0D = @CR and 0D0A = @CRLF but i can't fix it by replacing all 0D0A's by 0D because if there is already a 0D0A it won't be changed to 0D0A0A ^^

Maybe this is something for the support forum, but maybe it is a bug.

Thanks for reading.

Nemcija.

Did you try:

$string = StringReplace(FileRead('whereever.txt'), @CRLF, @CR)

?

This is most obviously not a valid bug report. Moved to support.

@SmOke_N:

This wouldn't work

FileRead converts:

[0D0A -> 0D0A] || CRLF -> CRLF (no change)

[0A -> 0A] || LF -> LF (no change)

but [0D -> 0D0A] || CR -> CRLF (big problem)

If I would try now to replace CRLF by CR I would replace the real CRLF, too. Do you now understand my problem?

[Nemcija]

nobody an idea?

nobody an idea?

You will have post an script plus input file that shows the exact problem if you want us to help you.

Ok ok .. 3rd time i write it now

Inputfiledata (pe "input.file") in hexeditor:

[...] 07 7C 20 00 - 7D 60 A1 B0 - 12 41 D1 0D - 30 FF [...]

Now i read it out with Autoit (real code of the script more than 1000 lines long)

But i want to write an example to show it to you:

$filedata = fileread("input.file")
; [...]
; Work with a copy of $filedata
; Here i get an error at 0D when 0A has been added
;  ( not fixable in this codepart! )
; [...]
filewrite("output.file", $filedata)

Now i open "output.file" in a hexeditor:

[...] 07 7C 20 00 - 7D 60 A1 B0 - 12 41 D1 0D - 0A 30 FF [...]

FileRead converts:

[0D0A -> 0D0A]|| CRLF -> CRLF (no change)

[0A -> 0A] || LF -> LF (no change)

but [0D -> 0D0A] || CR -> CRLF (big problem)

If I try to replace CRLF by CR I would replace the real CRLF, too. Do you now understand my problem?

I have read what you written.... and do not see an attached file ....

Maybe it would be nice if you supply the file you test with in stead of expecting it from us to create it .

anyways.. made this script which I think does what you want and do not see the problem... what hex Editor do you use ?:

#include<String.au3>
FileDelete("Test.hex")
FileDelete("Test2.hex")
$String = _HexToString("077C20007D60A1B01241D10D30FF")
Filewrite("Test.hex",$String)
$test = FileRead("Test.hex")
Msgbox(0,"debug",_StringToHex($test))
Filewrite("Test2.hex",$String)
$test = FileRead("Test2.hex")
Msgbox(0,"debug",_StringToHex($test))

I m using Hex-Editor MX (v6) from Nextsoft.

in my script i use it like this:

$filehandle = FileOpen($file,0)
$filedata = FileRead($filehandle)
for $dataset = $start to $end
    $input = StringMid($filedata,StringInStr($filedata, "-Data-",0,1)+8+($dataset*11),11) ; StringInStr($filedata, "-Data-",0,1)+8 sets it to beginning. if you ask why "+8" -Data-=6 +CRLF=2 =8
    ;$dataset is the entrynumber
    $output = _StringToHex($input)
    FileWriteLine("Debug.txt",$input & " >>> " & $output) ; Debug
;[ ... ]
Next

here an example of my debugdata:

[...] (everything correctly)
 }`¡°a± >>> 070510007D60A1B01241B1
{P }`¡°aÑ >>> 077B50007D60A1B01241D1
|  }`¡°añ >>> 077C20007D60A1B01241D1
|  }`¡°b
 >>> 077C20007D60A1B012420D

|0 }`¡°b >>> 0A077C30007D60A1B01242
1~ð }`¡°b >>> 31077ED0007D60A1B01242
Ep }`¡°a >>> 014550007D60A1B0124110
P }`¡°a  >>> 019550007D60A1B0124120
[...]

You maybe see that there should be exactly 8 numbers before 7D6.

Edit:

I have found out something new.

before i read it out i write it down (seems to be logical )

FileWrite already adds 0A if there is only a 0D

ok someone know how to fix this ? ^^

It does not as you can see in my example.... agree ?

I am willing to have a look at the issue when you provide everything that will allow me to replicate your problem.. the code you posted does not and you haven't attached the input file you use..

[GaryFrost]

Why are you using a Hex Editor and debug data?

You attempting read and exe and write it back out?
