Hi, While trying to better understand security descriptors on Windows. I've been examining text-based security descriptors. I have the security descriptors on individual lines stored in a text file. I want to break these lines apart based on owner, group, dacl and sacl. These areas are demarcated by O: G: D: and S:
There are no spaces in the lines. How can I read each line so that each area is broken out? I'd like output like this: O: details G: details or NONE D: details or NONE S: details or NONE Here is an example SD: O:owner_sidG:group_sidD:dacl_flags(string_ace1)(string_ace2)...(string_acen)S:sacl_flags(string_ace1)(string_ace2)...(string_acen) I want to read this and break it apart like this: O:owner_sid G:group_sid D:dacl_flags(string_ace1)(string_ace2)...(string_acen) S:sacl_flags(string_ace1)(string_ace2)...(string_acen) Any tips?
