Re^3: How to read encrypted data from informix database into a single variable

Well, I'd do something along these lines..

open my $fh, '<', $file or die "Can't read '$file': $!\n";
while((my $len = read $fh, my $record, 32) == 32) {
    # do something with $record
    ...
    (read $fh, my $junk, 2) == 2 or last;
}

Oh wait... yes, use strict, use warnings :-)

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

I took a hex dump and analysing hex dump, was good idea. It simplified lot of things. I took, unload of encrypted data in an file. And then from byte patterns and using simple read() and seek(), i was able to extract the actual encrypted data bytes as i intended to do. Thank you for your inputs :) . have a nice day	[reply]
