Yeah i did try that, but recieved an error message about expecting $bytes. But never the less, the code i posted works great and pretty quick for what i want to do :)

Thanks for posting this tho, it will definitely show me a different approach to the same problem. Once i get back i will try to run the code above again to see why it wasnt working for me.

Thanks! EDIT: Yes, just read bytes, the index table will tell you where each infos are inside the file, all i did was predeclare read lengths, and then i use 0x0C to go to the actual data, then use the predefined read lengths. I will work on this more soon and post a follow up code (which should be alot shorter that my original code).
