My data have nothing to do with strings - it's all raw binary image
data, so UTF-8 etc. does not enter into the equation.
Aha. So this is a different problem then because your file format is
probably always supposed to be in big endian?
I say... just make a byte swap function. It's really easy. Then make
a function that will swap the bytes upon read, but only if the
platform is correct.
function SwapImageBytes(mb as memoryblock)
#if TargetBigEndian = false then
dim i, char, n as integer
n = mb.size - 1
for i = 0 to n step 2
char = mb.bytevalue(i)
mb.bytevalue(i) = mb.bytevalue(i+1)
mb.bytevalue(i+1) = char
next
#endif
end function
there you go :)
This is cool, because then you can do all your processing without
setting .littleendian to true, which is to be honest, a slow thing to
do.
