#139752 - 2005-05-16 07:55 PM KiXtart Binary - taking a new look at it
Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	someone might remember me publishing that kixbin.dll some time ago and then it just vanished. well, I started working on the project once again and thus decided to publish a semi-working (sure it works fine, but the functions are way too lame still) version of KiXtart Binary obviously you need to register it with regsvr32 before use. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	1.1 - writing not supported yet - reading of other than strings only 1 element at a time (a.k.a, no safe-arrays yet) hmm... kixtart seems to report vartype = 17 wrong... or was it 16. anyways, char is the proper vartype and kixtart claims it to be byte. and for unicode char, kixtart reports integer. ruud? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I do have build 3 already that supports writing but there is slight issue. thought that basic test could be to read bytes and writes bytes but with that method multibyte ansi textfile turned into a unicode like wide-multibyte ansi file. so, something is screwing things up and it looks like the dispatch-interface itself is responsible. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	KiXtart Binary 1.2 (build 3) - added write support the documentation is not up to date but the sample scripts and Typelib Viewer should reveal it all. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	nice - nice docs too. How about providing methods to read/write values of a type, for example: $Double = $File.ReadDouble($fh,1) Or how about this - Have $FileSystem.Open return an object that is a "File", then just do the read/writes like this: $File = $FileSystem.Open("x.bin") $Double = $File.ReadDouble() and maybe the record pointer can advance automatically by the size of a double. -Shawn

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	they are there. reading and writing specific types are optional args, like shown in the "_writer" sample. it reads the whole file as single bytes (file type 17, iirc) and writes it to another file unaltered. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	and what comes to that readDouble notation... it was there in the old builds but it bloated way too much the code, when on the other hand one can use the same Read() and Write() methods for all types. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	just updated the docs that were way out for some of the oldest methods. quess that partly explains shawn's little odd reply. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
