Are there any gurus of the pack/unpack world out there that can help me
with this one?
I have an encrypted string which I'm reading from a zipped file. It was
written using
pack ( "la" . strlen (encrypted), strlen (encrypted), strlen (encrypted))
most of the time, it decrypts correctly when I unpack as...
list (, $Len ) = unpack ("l", gzread($ZipFile , 4));
$temp = unpack ( "C".$Len, gzread($ZipFile , $Len));
....except when it doesn't. I have no control over the format of the file,
so can't change that. My gut feeling is that the problems are caused by
the 'a' flag used to write it, which may be adding nulls to the string.
Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong??
Cheers, Steve

Hi,
I tried to pack eight integer values and one string into one binary
string, which I would like to store in a mysql db.
I encountered two problems doing this:
1)
$this->packed = pack('N8A*', $this->value1, $this->value2,
$this->value3, $this->value4, $this->value5, $this->value6,
$this->value7, $this->value8, $this->stringvalue);

I can use string.unpack if string in struct uses fixed amount of bytes.
But is there some extension to struct modue, which allows to unpack
zero-terminated string, size of which is unknown?
E.g. such struct: long, long, some bytes (string), zero, short, short,
short.

Can Python not express the idea of a three-byte int?
For instance, in the working example below, can we somehow collapse the
three calls of struct.pack into one?
08 12 34 56 80 00
I ask because I'm trying to refactor working code that is concise:

If I build a strict with:

print struck.pack ('i', 1)
it returns a '\n'.
What's wrong with it???

Hello,
Thanks for your time.
After review the "struct" documentation, it seems there are no option
to pack/unpack zero terminated strings.
By example, if the packed data contains: byte + zero terminated string
+ zero terminated string + byte, it seems no possible to unpack it
using "struct".

If you have the following:
data = unpack('>L', sock.recv(4))
Does this line of code means that incoming data is big endian and
unpack it to endianess of local machine? If local machine is little
endian, then big endian is automatically converted to little endian
format?
thank you.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
