Bin2Data - Crossplattform DataSection Maker, OpenSource

[ts-soft]

Description:
Small Drop-GUI to convert all binfiles to DataSection.
Preview of Pictures, Sounds can be played.
This tool should help you to post your sources without
dependencies, in this forum.
It's not designed to work with big files.
Tested on linux,macos and windows

Have fun

The source is to large, to post it here,
please download at: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3086026/Bin2Data.pb

A version with better packsupport, but requires PB5.10 + can you found here:

; V1.1z 2012/02/19
; version modified by Wilbert.
; - different handling of data generation
; - added control of quads per line
; - added zlib compression option

Too Cool!

Mr Soft, your contributions are outstanding.

[IdeasVacuum]

Well, it does work OK with large files too, just leave to run during a coffee break. Took just over a minute to process an 886KB file (producing 22705 data lines!). So, kudos ts-soft.

[ts-soft]

I thank you for the feedback

Update:

V 1.1, 2012/02/16
small bugfix with drop folder or empty files

[Little John]

Very nice, Thomas. I need it right now.

Thank you, LJ

[electrochrisso]

Just what the doctor ordered.
Thank You!

[flaith]

Another awesome contribution of ts-soft
Thanks a lot

[KJ67]

Nice one, thank you very much!


PS, you may want add "?dl=1" to the end of your dropbox link for us poor laze ones .

Nice work

I created a modified version that adds a control to set the number of quads per line.
To do so, the file is kept in memory and the data is (re)generated when requested.
It uses a different routine for the conversion to text that uses asm to make things a bit faster.

Many thanks !

Thx, nice and very fast addition!
I have add your mod to the official release.

@all
The first download is changed to the enhanced version from wilbert.

I added an option to try to pack the data using the PB compression algorithm so the data can be decompressed without external libraries.
http://www.w73.nl/pb/Bin2Data_Mod.pb
If it succeeds, the result shows both the packed and original size.
It's mainly useful for text files.

Example of how it can be used :

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 600, 300, "EditorGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  EditorGadget(0, 10, 10, 580, 280)
  
  *Mem = AllocateMemory(1868)
  UnpackMemory(?Install_txt_start, *Mem)
  SetGadgetText(0, PeekS(*Mem, 1868, #PB_Ascii))
  FreeMemory(*Mem)
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

This will be good for custom rtf style help files, I think.

I added an option to try to pack the data using the PB compression algorithm

Thx, but i will not add this to official, the packroutines in pb not crossplattform-compatible in result
