I'm trying to create a program to read a certain binary format. I have the format's spec which goes something like:
First 6 bytes: String Next 4 bytes: 3 digit number and a blank byte --- Next byte: Height (Number up to 255) Next byte: Width (Number up to 255) Next byte: Number 0 - 5 Every 2 bytes after that: Supposedly a number 0000 - 0899? Anyway, I'm able to do the first 2 objects fine: a = info.read(6) b = info.read(4) Printing both gives me what I mentioned above, a string and a 3 digit number with a space. However, as I continue, things get trickier. c = info.read(1) d = info.read(1) Printing c and d in this case gives me a block in the SPE output, or if I run in a DOS prompt, 2 funny symbols. How do I get an integer out of this? I'll probably need help once I get to the "every 2 byte" section, but that'll be a separate post. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
