Search For A Hex Byte In A File?
Aug 17, 2009
I had made an app that opens a file and changes a hex byte then when I click another button it saves it.I am now thinking of making an app that will change some hex bytes to something else, but the catch is that not every file will have some of the hex bytes that others will. Like I want it to search for 71, 13, 31, and 11, and change them to 15, but not all files will have say a 71 or some might not have a 13 or a 31...Also, if there was a couple of bytes in a row that I needed to change, say F132, would I be able to search for all of that at once, and then change it to something like F133?

Why does C# define Byte+Byte=Int32 instead of Byte+Byte=Byte like VB?

Using a C+ DLL i can search a directory of 12000 blocks (512 byte records) in .46 seconds. That's moving.I can search it with the following code:
Imports System.IO.DirectoryInfo
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO
Imports System.Globalization[code]....
My question is, that's pretty fast. Why the enormous speed differential between C+ and VB? "Becase VB is managed code", doesn't really answer the question.

I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click

I'm not sure if I have this right to begin with because I can't test it without having it completed.

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?

Is it possible in VB to truncate a larger data type ( an int with a value greater than 255) to a smaller one, say a Byte (which only goes up to 255) in a way such that the 8LSBs of the integer are copied to the newly created byte. I have tried this using CType with the following code, however it does not work.
Dim TestByte As Byte = CType(Test, Byte)
Where the variable "Test" is an integer with a value of 419. This code always results in the Overflow exception.

I have 2 byte arrays. I want to merge these two byte array into 1 byte array.Usually, I just create a new byte array with length = byte array #1 + byte array #2. Then copy byte array #1 and #2 to the new byte array.do I have more efficient way to merge 2 byte array using VB.NET and .Net 4?

I would like to create a function so that I can pass a string and it will return me the binary value, I will use this later in other parts of the script but I am getting an error that I don't understand.

Dim NewPassword As String = ""
'The string we wish to encrypt

I have a byte array that I convert into a string like so Dim byt As Byte() = New Byte(255) {} s = New String(Encoding.ASCII.GetChars(byte))My question is when I look at the string in a debuger its clearly a normal string but when I compare it to what I know its supposed to be it doesnt equal. So i did a quick check and for some reason its return a string thats the length of 256 characters. So i did a s.trim and it still is 256 characters long.

I would like to know how to convert a unisgned byte to signed byte
Atm I got this
a
Function readSignedByte() As SByte
'-128/127
Dim b As SByte
[Code]....
it doesn't work one that well works for numbers positive over 127 if lets say ReadByte() has 128 it would give overflow error which I don't want it to give I would like it to overflow the number to negivate value aka its signed value.

Basically what I'm now trying to find out is simply how to convert an Executable file into byte or byte array as i've heard it called, and then back again. I had a friend used to do it with a program in VB6 a few years ago where he would convert the EXE into byte and store it in a sql database and then his boss would be able to retrieve it later on when he was out on business overseas and it seemed to work very well.I'd like to know how to do it in VB.NET, however after going through some sites using google search I have come up short.

Dim data() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("c:1.txt") 'read log file in bytes
Dim lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("c:1.txt") 'read log file in lines
Let's say:
For i=0 to 100
If lines(i).startwith("212330") Then
'code
End If
Next
The value 22330 is read from the file in byte. But i not sure whether can find the byte value by using readalllines method.

i tried saving the string 1995030 to file as byte as a hex value.Used the following lines to do this by hand:
Dim fs As New FileStream("test.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
fs.WriteByte(&H2D))
fs.WriteByte(&HB3)
fs.WriteByte(&H56)
This works as expected and everything is fine until this point.Now i tried to solve this problem by code.Tried the following:fs.writebyte(&H(str))Str contains the actual hex value to write.
