I am building a PE-COFF file reader, just for education purposes,
and I keep getting a ConvException come up, stating:
---
Unexpected '
---
Now, I have no idea how I'm getting this. The code at that point
looks like the following:
---
// look for the identifier
// this gives us the offset to the magic number
uint offs;
file.seek(0x3c, SEEK_SET);
file.readf("%d", &offs); // this is the problem line
writefln("magic number offset: %d", offs);
file.seek(offs, SEEK_SET);
---
With the exception being raised on the writefln. I have the same
trouble with
writeln("magic number offset: ", offs);
and I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. About the only clue I
can come up with, is that if I were to look at the section of
code in the hex editor, the number at that point generates a "'",
the offending character, when represented as a character array.
Does anyone else see whatever it is that I'm doing wrong?
