Dynamic buffer

[UserLoser.]

...with what I think is that GNU GPL thingy
http://www.userloser.net/files/source/clsDynamicBuffer.cls

How to use -> self explanatory but I feel the need to explain anyways.

Declare an instance (which will be used throughout this example):

Code Select Expand


Dim DynBuf As New clsDynamicBuffer


Set the buffer:

Code Select Expand


Call DynBuf.ResetBuffer(NewBufferData)


Build a buffer:

Code Select Expand


DynBuf.NextByte = &HFF
DynBuf.NextByte = &HE
DynBuf.NextWord = &H8
DynBuf.NextString = "hmm"


Add data (no null terminator follows):

Code Select Expand


Call DynBuf.AddBytes(OutData)


Pick apart the buffer:

Code Select Expand


SomeVar = DynBuf.NextByte()
SomeOtherVar = DynBuf.NextString()
SomeVariable = DynBuf.NextDword()


Grab some data by length:

Code Select Expand


Signature = DynBuf.GetBytes(128)


Get the whole buffer:

Code Select Expand


BufferData = DynBuf.Buffer()


Clear the buffer:

Code Select Expand


Call DynBuf.ResetBuffer(vbNullString)


Destroy the buffer:

Code Select Expand


Set DynBuf = Nothing


Enjoy.

Noodlez told me he did something like this when he coded a VB bot. He could extract DWORDs and such out of a buffer by doing recvBuff.GetNextDWord()

It sounded neat.

Anyways, good to see you release something that will benefit others.

In the get property NextString() why increase the buffer position (m_Pos) when you don't actually find a vbNullChar?

Haha, neat, you're turning people's bots into GPL software!

Hmm, oops.  Thanks.  I kept finding small things that I overlooked which I didn't find when I was testing it right before I posted this thread.

Hehe, the beauty of open-source

I don't think he realized (or maybe he just overlooked) that now tons of bots that utilize this are going to have to be open-source.

So what happens if I find someone who is using this without creditting/making their product open soruce or whatever?  Can I sue them and become really rich?
