I have a function that returns a byte(), the only problem is that the array most times is to long and has 4 or 5 excess null bytes. I want to remove them and tried everything, but I cant seem to find anything that works.
View 3 Repliesbytes ( 00 00 00 ) I'm trying to remove from a specific set of locations within a byte stream. The following code is what I'm using. I tried using the Trim function as listed in the code at the bottom but that had no effect. I'm extracting from a fixed byte range and there are null values after the end of valid ascii characters. Dim temp() As Byte = GetByteArray(FrameData, 3, 32)
Private Function GetByteArray(ByVal MyArray As System.Array, ByVal Start As Integer, ByVal Length As Integer) As Byte()

I create my algorthm and its finished but there is a problem, it encrypte all text and all text in a file but after decryption when i open my file (a video file)the player show all information about file(duration,size and ect) currectly but it dont play that my program encrypt and decrypt byte by byte and place a asci code in bytes(0 to 255)

View 2 RepliesI need to read a binary file. The Byte-Ordering in this file is different from the Intel-Standard. In good old FORTRAN I've used Equivalence-Statement in such cases (For example Defining a 4-Byte-Integer-variable and 4 Bytes at the same memory location / read the file as bytes / store them in the neccessary order / access the memory using the Integer-Variable). In VB dotnet I programmed a solution using shift-operators:

The relevant code below is not achieving what I hoped it would. I intend for
1. SerialPortBufferTemp to be used as the container for each Serial Port Read.
2. _buffer should contain the resultant array from two separate Reads, the second appended directly after the first.
(E.g. 60 bytes read on the 2nd Read will be appended to the 168 bytes received on the first Read (228 total resultant byte length))
The problem with my code below is that _buffer has increase in size from 300 bytes to 600 bytes, skipped bytes 168 to 300 (leaving them all zeros) and added the remaining 60 bytes from the second read beginning at _buffer[300].
private List<byte> _buffer = new List<byte>();
byte[] SerialPortBufferTemp = new byte[300];
serialPort1.Read(SerialPortBufferTemp, 0, iBytesRead);
if (iValidRecordCtr == 0) {
_buffer.Clear();

I'm using Visual Basic .NET to work with a USB HID device.Most of the time, I can receive data from it perfectly... but one out of every thousand transfers or so, my code will think it has received data when it actually hasn't.The device writes to an array of bytes. I wanted to check to see if the received packet is empty, by doing something like this:
If myDevice.dataPacket(1) <> Nothing then
myDevice.rxDataReady = False

How can I efficiently find the location of the first instance of a four byte sequence within a byte array? Is there something more efficient than looping through the whole array, or a built-in method?
I'm searching through a byte array for a pair of CrLF. I can't convert it to string for an InStr first because I need the position of it in the original byte array.
I am trying to figure out the location of this, as it delimits between a string portion and a binary portion, similar (well, exactly like for this part of it) to an HTTP header. There is a string portion, and two CrLf before the content begins.
I'm receiving a byte array from a network device by using the TcpClient class and as I have no idea how much data will be being sent I have to just declare a buffer that is X number of bytes long and keep reading into that until I've got all of the data. I then convert this byte array to a string using Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString but the problem is that this gets any null bytes that were at the end of the buffer after the string and it includes them in the string. This then means when I do String.EndsWith it doesnt work as I would expect it to because there are just loads of 0 bytes at the end of the string.
Once I had realised that was what was happening (which took a long time as these null bytes are completely invisible when you are looking at the data in String form) I thought fine I'll just use Trim on the string but I've found that this doesnt make any difference at all. I thought Trim was supposed to remove any blank space from the start/end of a string, which I assumed would include empty bytes as well.
So is there any alternative I can use that will trim the empty bytes off the end or do I have to do it the 'manual' way and loop through my byte array before converting it to string and remove any null bytes? One thing that has just popped into my head as I'm typing this is to try using the Chr method and pass it 0 and combine that with Trim like so:
how to write a null bytes onto unused hard disk spaces? I understand that files deleted are still existed on hard disk, I am thinking of may be if I write the null bytes to every single unused bytes so that the unused hard disk space would be become all null bytes, and unused space would no longer contain of those deleted files.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to open an existent file save a bytes in the start of it to later read them.
How can I do that? Because the "&" operand isn't working fo this type of data.
I'm using Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("text") to convert info to bytes and then add them.
I'm reading a binary file. Apparently its older, and some of its values are based not on position, but on null terminated bytes. Position 17 thru 35 represents a value, however, if their is a null byte at 30, then you get garbage if you try to read 17 thru 35 as a value...
I need to read, specifically, from 17 to 29 in this instance because pos 30 is a null byte.
Have to read it byte by byte, no problem. Not sure though the syntax of comparing a null byte specifically.
If you need a sample of the binary file, I can post it.
I must search a binary string for a pattern. This worked fine in VB6 using Get to read a file into a string and using InStr to search for the pattern. The conversion from VB6 to VB.NET changed Get to FileGet and warned of new behavior, but I don't see anything in the FileGet documentation about not being able to read 0 value bytes.
I don't mind at all changing to a new method, but ultimately I must get the data into a string rather than an array.

This should be simple but apparently it's not. I have a text file, 694 bytes. At byte 500 there's a null in the file. I've tried reading it as text and binary and I end up with a string, 694 bytes long. But anyting I do with this string fails because it appears to stop at character 500. I can do a ? asc(mystring.substring(549,1)) and I get 9 (tab). Print character 550 and I get 0. Print character 551 and I get 32 (space). How do I get rid of this null?

I just converted the following code from c# to vb.net. It is functional and works correctly with my company's firmware/devices. My next challenge. Previous serialport code used much more readable structs which where then converted (after building a packet) into byte() automatically as part of the serialport encoding. (this is my understanding)How could I
1. morph byte arrays 'ToSocket' and 'ToMTP' below into structs and
2. convert into byte array for Socket.BeginSend(byte(),.....) to stream out to remote devices?
