read-bin

Thanks for the tip, but I'm already working with Jitter. But for a project ( 

 ) I'd like to manipulate the binary of a document, and the matrix system of Jitter is not what I'm looking for, I just want to be able to access the binary code of a picture and scramble with it. I'm not looking for ways to simulate or to create visual effects with Jitter.

I'm looking for an object to read the binary, manipulate it and save the document again (I hope this is more clear now ;-)

i have red sand on my hand-mind prooving that.

Please see the JS documentation of the FIle object, specifically the 

readbytes and writebytes methods to access the raw binary data of files.

Reads and returns an array containing up to byte_count numbers, read 

from the file, starting at the current file position. The file 

Writes the numbers contained in the byte_array argument as bytes to 

starting at the current file position. The file position is updated

readbytes (byte_count)
Reads and returns an array containing up to byte_count numbers, read  
as bytes
from the file, starting at the current file position. The file  
position is updated
accordingly.

writebytes (byte_array)
Writes the numbers contained in the byte_array argument as bytes to  
the file,
starting at the current file position. The file position is updated  
accordingly.

Yeah, this sound more like it ;-) I knew there was something there...

Javascript is suppose to be simple but maybe I miss something here (when I call my function I only get the flying pizza of death... and I have to force quit Max...), I certainly have made a stupod mistake but I don't see it... :

            a = f.readbytes(1); //

            post("byte_count[" + f.position + "]: " + a + "n");

        post("could not open file: " + s + "n");

function readbytes(s)
{
	var f = new File(s);
	var i,a,c;

	if (f.isopen) {
		c = f.eof;
		for (i=0;i
			a = f.readbytes(1); //
			post("byte_count[" + f.position + "]: " + a + "n");
	}
		f.close();
	} else {
		post("could not open file: " + s + "n");
	}
}

Reads and returns an array containing up to byte_count numbers, read 
as bytes

position is updated
accordingly.

writebytes (byte_array)

the file,

I don't think so. The code looks okay at a glance. It sounds like 

it's taking that long to read in. Don't underestimate the overhead of 

doing this in JavaScript. Note that the max window won't update 

until you've completed your function. Try doing this just for a few 

bytes. It will also be faster to read more than one byte at a time, 

but still not that fast, as the byte is read, converted to a max 

atom, which is converted to a JS number. Doing in Java or C would be

ok, thank you very much. finally it seams that my Proce55ing methods was more efficent ;-) but I will keep investigating with Max ;-)
