nsisFile 1.0 -- NSIS plugin for file content manipulation Web site: http://wiz0u.free.fr/prog/nsisFile --------------------------------------------------------- nsisFile allows you some file manipulation, especially with binary data. Notes ----- * File handle is the value returned by NSIS "FileOpen" function * Function result is returned on NSIS stack (use "Pop" to retrieve it) * You can use NSIS "FileSeek" function to move to a specific offset before calling these functions to specify where to start the operation Usage ----- nsisFile::BinToHex <string> Convert a string into an hexadecimal string representing the equivalent ANSI character bytes No terminating NUL (00) character and no formatting characters are added. nsisFile::HexToBin <hex string> Convert an hexadecimal string representing ANSI characters bytes into the equivalent string The string might be truncated to the first NUL (00) character encoutered. Eventual formatting characters are ignored. nsisFile::FileReadBytes <file handle> <length> Read <length> bytes from the given file and return them as an hexadecimal string nsisFile::FileWriteBytes <file handle> <hex string> Write to the given file the bytes sequence, given as hexadecimal string nsisFile::FileFindBytes <file handle> <hex string> <length> Search the given file for the bytes sequence, given as hexadecimal string. The search is done over <length> bytes from the file (this value should include the length of the bytes sequence) Use -1 as <length> to search the whole file. The result is -1 if not found, or the file offset found. (File pointer is automatically positionned to this offset) nsisFile::FileTruncate <file handle> Truncate the given opened file at the current file pointer (as positionned by NSIS "FileSeek") Version history --------------- 1.0 : First release License ------- Copyright (c) 2010 Olivier Marcoux This software is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied warranty.
