`eq` is string equality
`==` is numeric equality
a Buf is neither.
You want `eqv` (equivalent)
$b[2..4] eqv (0x90,0x00,0x04)
That was it. Thank you!
$ p6 'my $handle=open("filever.exe", :bin, :ro); my Buf $b; $b=
$handle.read(5); say $b; if ( $b[2..4] eqv (0x90,0x00,0x03) ) {say
"y";} else {say "n"}; $handle.close;'
Buf[uint8]:0x<4D 5A 90 00 03>
y
$ p6 'my $handle=open("filever.exe", :bin, :ro); my Buf $b; $b=
$handle.read(5); say $b; if ( $b[2..4] eqv (0x90,0x00,0x04) ) {say
"y";} else {say "n"}; $handle.close;'
Buf[uint8]:0x<4D 5A 90 00 03>
n
How do I find the position of a pattern in a Buf?
Need `pos` for Buf
