The /bread command can be used to read a certain amount of bytes from a file at a given position and store it in a binary variable.

The beginning of the file is position 0.

Synopsis

/bread -t <filename> <bytepos> <numbytes> <&bvar>

Switches

  • -t - Reads data up to the next CR/LF

Parameters

  • <filename> - The file name to read from.
  • <bytepos> - The starting byte position.
  • <numbytes> - The length (bytes) to be read.
  • <&bvar> - The binary variable to store the data in.

Example

;noop $copyExample(FileA,FileB)
alias copyExample {
   ;Read the whole file into a binary variable
   bread $qt($1) 0 $file($1).size &tempFile
 
   ;Write the bytes form the binary variable to a file
   bwrite $qt($2) 0 -1 &tempFile
}
