Search file for binary pattern

junkmauler

I need a pre-made class (this is way over my head.. I can imagine the
pseudo code but cant implement it myself) that can search a file for a
specified binary pattern.

Actually what I really need is a way to read in a buffer (say 4k) and
search that buffer for multiple binary patterns, which would require a
smart sliding window to search a large amount of patterns in a short
amount of time.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

Regual expressions are great for searching for patterns

Pattern Search in Binary FIle

by: kenone | last post by:

I have loaded a large binary file into memory and now I want to search for 10101. I was using file.get to return the next hex number and see if it was equal to 0x15. This is not correct as part of my seach pattern (10101) may straggle over two hex numbers. Does anyone know of a way to find the pattern 10101 in a binary file loaded into memory? Any help is appreciated.

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

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