FileReadToArray and binary file

[anonymous]

whether it is possible to do so FileReadToArray return bytes instead of strings for files, open with option $FO_BINARY (16)?

This is a very limited syntactic sugar. You can already do that in a few lines of code and without size limit. Remember that AutoIt arrays are limited to 16*1024*1024 = 16777216 cells, so you could only read that many bytes of a file using your suggestion.

jchd18, well, what of it that arrays are limited? Everyone knows, however filereadtoarray function exists. Your comment can simply display help for this function.

Text files containing more than 16777216 lines are fairly uncommon. Accumulating log data in large log files is easy by appending, but routine processing of such large data is best done using a database. Thus FileReadToArray seems to fit the bill decently.

OTOH binary files > 16 Mb are plenty and the need to address every byte individually in one load is questionnable.

From Language Reference - Arrays:
You can use up to 64 dimensions in an Array. The total number of entries cannot be greater than 2^{24 (16 777 216).}

jchd18, you're right :( Can then still an option, the number of bytes to the index ...
But I think that's another function is obtained ...

Create your own wrapper function using the already available functions in AutoIt.
