I know, Rev probably isn't the best environment to do this particular thing in, but I'm just experimenting for the time being.. I want to write a script that will read an entire ATA volume (via USB adapter) into a field.. The current volume I'm working with is only 8MB, so this should be feasible. The script I currently have is;
open file "/dev/rdisk3" for binary read put the result into item 1 of ret * read from file "/dev/rdisk3" for 4096 -- until EOF put the result into item 2 of ret put it into fld "rtext" close file "/dev/rdisk3" put the result into item 3 of ret
The script as written works, but if I change the starred line to 'until EOF' it doesn't - it gives a result code of 'eof' for the read command. Does EOF do strange things if the thing you're reading from is a volume, and not a "real" file (whatever real means). Is there a better way to read directly from a volume other doing a file read from /dev/* ?
Thanks, Jim
