read binary file, copy data to newly created binary file? 1

[thepunisher]

How do i read in a binary file, copy the data to an array and then send the array data to a new binary file?

I want to create the binary file at run-time if possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated? Especially code.

thanks,

I used input$ function to read binaries. Maybe using it it would help.

Yeah,

i'll try that,

and then i set that to a variable and it will go into an array....no probs, but how to i create a new binary file with the new data?

mmmmmm...
I did that long ago to segment binary files and join them again....
I dont remember very well, I should try opening file for output and printing each one of the variables to the files and then closing it. I dont know if it will work, I cant remember how I did it time ago :S

ok,

cool, just one more question,

how do i check/view the values of the data in the binary file? I dont think there is a way, or is there?

thanks,

you can do/loop byte by byte convering the chr$ to hex.
