Hi there,
I am trying to understand how xdrlib works as I want to read files in this
format. The problem is I don't much about xdr (although I read
http://docs.python.org/library/xdrlib.html and RFC 1832).
Another problem is I don't know how the file I want to read was encoded.
So when I do something like:
import xdrlib
f = open('file.xdr').read()
data = xdrlib.Unpacker(f)
Then, I don't know which "unpack_*" to use.
If I use,
repr(data.unpack_string())
sometimes it returns something meaningful like:
"'Ryckaert-Bell.'"
but other times,
'\x00\x00\x00\x04Bond\x00\x00\x00\x05Angle\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0bProper
Dih.\x00'
if not a error.
Well, as you see, I am a bit lost here and any hint would be very
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alan
