Al Jones Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm either looking for the wrong thing or ... I have another program in VB.net that reads a font file (TTF / TTC) and extracts information for the various tables. Is it possible in autoit to do the equivalent of C's fseek(), fread()?? If it can, would you point me to the functions, I don't see them. I've read a lot of discussion about struct's in the forum, but don't see them defined as a (argh) variable type (realizing that one uses a struct to define a variable). What I'd like to do, I think, is to define an array of structs -- possible?? Unless you can point me to something that does similar, I'd be happy with the requisite referenses. //al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 31, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) fread is FileRead fseek you can use the Winapi.au3 library to change file positions, but most will use StringRegExp()/StringInStr() to get their positions within the file on a specific string manipulation query. Structs can be type defined: typedef struct { char sz_example[20]; int i_example; } t_struct; Can be translated like:$t_struct = DllStructCreate("char sz_example[20]; int i_example") Edited March 31, 2009 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Jones Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Let's translate my request a little, I'm looking at reading in offsets (binary data) which points to some other table in the file - almost without exception this is all strict binary (non-ascii) data. That data is mostly contained in a struct - though I suppose I could take a previously read file offset and add the offset to the element in the structure to read that particular field. Just wondering if this could be done - reasonably - in Autoit?? //al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
