binary file read and parse

I need to read a binary file and process it, converting
parts of it to various datatypes. I have the format of
the file, but can not find a reference for how to do it
in VB.
Can anyone help?
Thanks..

Hi, I am parsing a binary file and intend to read a date(not time) field encoded thus: 0xA1290B(little-endian). Now I know the date to be 12/04/2003 but just cannot get any of the known datetime functions to return this value either as a tm structure or as a string value. It's more accurate to say that my attempts return a date in the year 1970. I have been able to read the time accurately but I just want to be able to parse correctly...

Hello: I am receiving a Binary File in a Request from a application. The stream which comes to me has the boundary (Something like "---------------------------39<WBR>­0C0F3E0099" without the quotes), and also some more text like this and file name (e.g. "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload_file"; filename="C:\testing\myfile.da<WBR>­t" Content-Type: application/octet-stream")

I'm considering deploying an application that will us an IP address locaiton database provided by Ip2location.com... http://www.ip2location.net/ip2location-dotnet-component.aspx their .net component reads data from a binary file.

Hello all, I'm trying to read in a binary file in C. I have the specification of the file format and everything. I can parse the file with a software called "010 Editor". This way I can check if the values I read in in my C program are correct. The problem I have is parsing 32 bit integer values in C. This is the pretty simple code: int temp = 0; fread(&temp,sizeof(int),1,fp);

Hi, Kindly excuse my novice question. In all the literature on ifstream that I have seen, nowhere have I read what happens if you try to read a binary file using the ">>" operator.

Hello, I have a text report from a mainframe that I need to parse. The report has about a 2580 byte header that contains binary information (garbage for the most part); although there are a couple areas that have ASCII text that I need to extract. At the end of the 2580 bytes, I can read the report like a standard text file. It should have CR/LF at the end of each line. What is the best way for me to read this report using C#. It is...

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
