Why is this broken?

[Mast3rpyr0]

$File1 = FileOpen("test.gif", 16)

$File2 = FileRead($File1)

MsgBox(0, "test", $File2)

FileClose($File1)

This causes 99% of my CPU to be used lol. whats wrong with it and why doesnt it output what i want?

ok i just realized that FileOpen is only for text files. is there any other function that i can use to get the binary data of this image or make it into 2 different broken files?

.. lost me on this one ... FileOpen() is to open a File to be able to read it with FileRead() .

Why are you trying to do a msgbox for Binary data ?

Can imagine that gives a problem ......

[Mast3rpyr0]

just to see if its reading. is there another way to output this?

From Help Doc:

| filename | Filename of the text file to open. |

It's not broken, you have to know what your looking for in a binary file, the header for example

take a look at: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=356382

i have no idea what i was supposed to look at there lol sorry.

if possible i would like to be able to break apart the file instead like winrar and .part0 files
