FAF Archive format.

Hmm... So you're going to drop d and f chunks?

Nah, don't think so, I like having the ability to not having the next file entry directly after the previous entry.

Again very nice !!

I have gather many encryption UDF's over time (+50)

So If you are interested I can send them to you, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Or spend a lot of time searching the forum.

You recieve an handle from _FAF_CreateArchive() as well so you shouldn't use both _FAF_CreateArchive() and _FAF_OpenArchive(). The latter is when you want to open an old archive.

@ptrex, sure hit me a pm and I will be take a look

Minor update!

• All types in headers are now unsigned
• Magic control number is now 4 bytes
• _FAF_DeleteFileInArchive() is now implemented

I feel that I need to say something about the Delete function, use it wisely, for example the following example will not work as you expect:

#include "FAF Archiver.au3"
$faf=_FAF_OpenArchive("test.faf")
$index = _FAF_ReadArchiveIndex($faf)
For $i=0 To UBound($index)-1
    _FAF_DeleteFileInArchive($faf,$index[$i][3])
Next
_FAF_CloseArchive($faf)

... while this will:

#include "FAF Archiver.au3"
$faf=_FAF_OpenARchive("testar.faf")
$index = _FAF_ReadArchiveIndex($faf)
For $i=UBound($index)-1 To 0 Step -1
    _FAF_DeleteFileInArchive($faf,$index[$i][3])
Next
_FAF_CloseArchive($faf)

Why? Because everytime you delete a file the ID's in the archive gets modified so that they are in order ( first file will always have ID=0 and second ID=1 etc.).

Think of the archive structure like an array, the _FAF_DeleteFileInArchive function works like _ArrayDelete().

Furthermore, it will be faster deleting backwards due to internal workings.

First post for latest version.
