Thanks for these changes. I took a quick look at the package, and noticed that now the -p option is required, otherwise you end up with an empty -p command line option, if I'm reading the code right. The -p option should only be added if the user specifies it. > one odd thing i've noticed: the record type on *all* databases is > usually 08 00, but sometimes they are *all* 07 00 (while in your file > bb_task_format.txt you list 09 00). any idea what this is about? The "rec type" in bb_task_format.txt is mis-named. That is actually what I call the socket number, and can change at the whim of the device. It is usually consistent, but the device tells btool what number to use, so it could change for some reason internal to the device. The socket number is merely part of the communications protocol, and should not be saved in the backup. The bb_task_format.txt file was a patch sent before tasks parsing was supported, as I recall, and it is probably out of date. The best place to find the format of task records would be in the r_task.h and r_task.cc files. (sorry, it's code, not english) :-) I took another look at btool's DataDumpParser, and it dumps the whole response packet to stdout, instead of just the data portion. This probably makes the work harder for you, when the offset to the actual data is sitting right there in the ParseFields() arguments. It wouldn't be hard to display the offset too, but I suspect that would break your script. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
