binary editor for diagnosing zlib stream problems
-
I'm tried to uncompress data that's been compressed using ZLib's compress() function. Is there a binary editor that will read this data? I'm trying to work out if I've got a bug in my reading routine or if there's a glitch in the data itself. Note - this is NOT a zip file - it's a bunch of binary data, the result of making a series of compress calls and then sending that down the wire.

You could try the trial of this one[^]. It's a Hex Editor that has 'Binary Templates' whatever they are.:confused:

Damn how did I miss that - I searched around a bit but didn't find that one. Way cool, thanks!

Can't you remove the "sending down the wire" part of the process to verify that you're using zlib correctly? BTW visual studio can show binary data if you use the open with feature in the file open dialog.

If you're concerned about zlib, I use it in precisely the manner you describe and have had no problems. I realize it's a data point of one, but...

Pleasure. I saw it a couple of days ago, as usual when looking for summat else, and wondered what 'Binary Templates' were so I bookmarked it for later. Still haven't got round to it tho.
