in thread read CSV file line by line and create hash table

check this out, works great if yoru extracting files referenced by the header ;)
my $fileLocation = ''; my $fileSize = ''; my $fileName = ''; my $chunk = ''; #my $entry_Count = seek and read the count inside the file; $entry_Count =~ s/(.)/sprintf("%02x",ord($1))/egs; #print "There are $entry_Count entries in this file"; seek( $infile, 0x10, 0 ) || die "cannot seek file: $!"; for ( my $i = 1 ; $i <= $entry_Count ; $i++ ) { read( $infile, $fileLocation, 0x08 ); read( $infile, $fileSize, 0x08 ); read( $infile, $fileName, 0x20 ); $fileLocation =~ s/(.)/sprintf("%02x",ord($1))/egs; $fileSize =~ s/(.)/sprintf("%02x",ord($1))/egs; $fileName =~ s/\0+$//; print ("Found $fileName"); open( my $file, '>', "extracted/$fileName" ) || die "Cannot op +en $fileName $!"; binmode($file); seek( $infile, hex($fileLocation), 0 ); read( $infile, $chunk, hex($fileSize) ); syswrite( $file, $chunk ); #print ($file $chunk); close($file); } print "Files/Data extracted";
the above will read a file in, and depending on an entry count (if one is defined in the file you are using) will extract the data that the header references. with the header being $entry_Count long ofcourse
