Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: ESP+ Storage .rep repository

No, I can't give you that person's e-mail address. You've also gotten yourself on a tangent. There is nothing in Reader.pm that you should be looking at if you intend to extract your data. Go read http://search.cpan.org/src/JJORE/ESPPlus-Storage-0.01/eg/read.pl which is an example script for extracting the contents of a .REP file.

If you really want to understand how a .REP file is structured then please learn perl to a sufficient level to understand my source code as provided in Reader.pm. I will not explain its structure separately from that code as there is no need to. I don't think you need to do this to accomplish the extraction goal that you have described to me.

Thank you very much for your collaboration. I will follow your advice. Even though the time is a determining factor, I will try to learn Perl to understand the code of your programs in detail. If in the next days you decide to give me the emails of the other people, I will be highly thanked with you. Again I appreciate all your collaboration. You do not forget that you can contact to me whenever you want. Any thing that you need, please you do not doubt in writing to me. my email is rocasoc@hotmail.com	[reply]
Re^6: ESP+ Storage .rep repository by Socep (Initiate) on Jun 15, 2004 at 16:08 UTC
Hi Joshua. I was reading in detail your programs code. Now i have the following problem. According with your programs the structure of the record in the .rep file is: header + ( magic number + compress body) <next record with the same structure> the header structure is: H=058;T=0;L=1086;C=3;U=1075863338;A=cto8;AFP=v02/04/04,o0; where H=058 indicate the lenght of the header in this case 58, L=1086 indicate the lenght of the uncompressed file . when i process the first record the resutl is ok, but with the next records the uncompress function produce a bad output. I extract the string between the magic number and the last caracter before the new header to produce the .z file, and then uncompress it. Please let me know where i have the error. Thanks again	[reply]

Your description is correct. The problem is in either your code or your data. You will have to show one or the other before I am able to tell you more.	[reply]

Hi, i wrote you to your cpan.org email. I attach a sample of my .rep file. I don't know if the problem is that i am processing a unix file under windows or dos structure files. In the other hand, during de process the record one has a very good extraction, with the same lenght that the header especified. Then i asume that the problem is not the file under windows system. If you prefer i can write you to your email, and attach an example. Thanks	[reply]
