Hello, I have a problem reading strings out of a binaery file.
The last 128 Byte of the File contains a String I want to work with. (sorry, this code is windows, feel free to flame me ^^) ################################ my $tsize = 128; my $fsize = (-s "d:\\mp3\\forseti.mp3"); my $offset = ($fsize - $tsize); open(INF, "d:\\mp3\\forseti.mp3"); seek(INF, $offset, 0); $tag = <INF>; @id3v1 = split (//, $tag); $id3v_t = unpack("B8","$id3v1[125]"); print $id3v_t; ################################ I get: >00000000 If I print the whole string it looks like: This is what I get 2002 ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Parts I markt are no whitespaces. They are binaery 00000000. Is there something I could do to transform or remove this null-chars? (Something small and smart.) I thought about $x=0; foreach @id3v1 ($char){ $testit = unpack("B8", $char); if ($testit =~ m/0{8}/) { $id3v1[$x] = ""; } $x++; } but it this is not very smart or small...
