Bin2Hex example

Code updated For 5.20+

Hi all!

Here is a procedure to convert a binary file to a hex file direct.
It is smart to use when you want to convert big binary files.
It isen't so fast, around 2750kB/s with 2048 buffersize without prewrite, on my pc. So if you have a faster example that works, post it here.

Code: Select all

Procedure Bin2Hex(inputfile.s, outputfile.s)
  #buffersize=1024
  #prewrite=#False
  If FileSize(inputfile)<>-1
    filelength=FileSize(inputfile)
    If CreateFile(1, outputfile)
      If #prewrite=#True
        *buffermemory=AllocateMemory(filelength*2)
        WriteData(1,*buffermemory, filelength*2)
        FreeMemory(*buffermemory)
        FileSeek(1,0)
      EndIf
      If OpenFile(2, inputfile)
        *tempmemory=AllocateMemory(#buffersize)
        *hexmemory=AllocateMemory(#buffersize*2+1)
        byteread.w
        For x=0 To filelength Step #buffersize
          *memstraddr=*hexmemory
          
          byteread=ReadData(2,*tempmemory, #buffersize)
          For y=0 To byteread-1
            CopyMemoryString(RSet(Hex(PeekB(*tempmemory+y)&$FF), 2, "0"), @*memstraddr)
          Next y
          
          WriteString(1,PeekS(*hexmemory,(byteread*2)+1))
        Next x
        FreeMemory(*hexmemory)
        FreeMemory(*tempmemory)
        CloseFile(1)
        CloseFile(2)
