Parsing binary files

[zjeriet]

Hello,

I've started to write my first TCL script yesterday and it worked quiete well. Except for one issue.
I need to parse a binary file.
So I need to find a certain combination of chars in the file, replace them and save the file.
I used a while{![eof $fid]} construct but the problem is the binary file contains eof chars so that the file is only parsed partially.
Does any of you guys have a good alternative to parse the complete file?

Thanks and regards,

zjeriet

Hi

I never needed this, but I would try the [tt]fconfigure[/tt] command's [tt]-eofchar[/tt] and/or [tt]-translation[/tt] option.

Hello,

I used the fconfigure command and it seems to work.

fconfigure $r_id -translation binary

This ignores the eof characters.
Thanks for your help !
