When I read in the first 256 bytes of my file, the first byte is
missing.
Why would that be?
Here is my code.
Dim ReadFromFile as BinaryStream
Dim f as FolderItem
f=GetOpenFolderItem("")
oldHeader = newmemoryBlock(256)
If f <> Nil Then
ReadFromFile=f.OpenAsBinaryFile
oldHeader.stringValue(0,256) = readFromFile.read(256)
ReadFromFile.close
End If
editfield1.text = oldHeader.pString(0)
Sorry if it is obvious.
Because the first byte defines the length when you use pString and so
it is NEVER displayed
if you just want to look at the bytes try using StringValue instead
