_TorrentGetFileNames($sFile)

[FuryCell]

After fooling around and trying to figure out how to read Bencode I came up with a simple solution to extract the file names from a *.torrent file.

#include<String.au3>
#include<Array.au3>
Func _TorrentGetFileNames($sFile)
    Local $sData, $asBetween, $iCounter, $asReturn[1] = [0], $iPos
    $sData = FileRead($sFile)
    $asBetween = _StringBetween($sData, ":path", "eed6")
    $asBetween2 = _StringBetween($sData, ":name", "12")
    For $iCounter = 0 To UBound($asBetween) - 1
        $iPos = StringInStr($asBetween[$iCounter], ":", Default, -1)
        _ArrayAdd($asReturn, StringTrimLeft($asBetween[$iCounter], $iPos))
        $asReturn[0] += 1
    Next
    If $asReturn[0] = 0 Then
        For $iCounter = 0 To UBound($asBetween2) - 1
            $iPos = StringInStr($asBetween2[$iCounter], ":", Default)
            _ArrayAdd($asReturn, StringTrimLeft($asBetween2[$iCounter], $iPos))
            $asReturn[0] += 1
        Next
    EndIf
    Return $asReturn
EndFunc   ;==>_TorrentGetFileNames

Heres a quick example.

#include<String.au3>
#include<Array.au3>
#include<File.au3>

;Download the torrent to a temp file
$Path = _TempFile(@TempDir, "~", ".torrent") 
InetGet("http://vodo.net/assets/torrents/Pioneer.One.S01E01.REFIX.Xvid-VODO.torrent", $Path)

;Extract file names and display them
$Array = _TorrentGetFileNames($Path)
_ArrayDisplay($Array)

;Remove the temp file used
FileDelete($Path) 

Func _TorrentGetFileNames($sFile)
    Local $sData, $asBetween, $iCounter, $asReturn[1] = [0], $iPos
    $sData = FileRead($sFile)
    $asBetween = _StringBetween($sData, ":path", "eed6")
    $asBetween2 = _StringBetween($sData, ":name", "12")
    For $iCounter = 0 To UBound($asBetween) - 1
        $iPos = StringInStr($asBetween[$iCounter], ":", Default, -1)
        _ArrayAdd($asReturn, StringTrimLeft($asBetween[$iCounter], $iPos))
        $asReturn[0] += 1
    Next
    If $asReturn[0] = 0 Then
        For $iCounter = 0 To UBound($asBetween2) - 1
            $iPos = StringInStr($asBetween2[$iCounter], ":", Default)
            _ArrayAdd($asReturn, StringTrimLeft($asBetween2[$iCounter], $iPos))
            $asReturn[0] += 1
        Next
    EndIf
    Return $asReturn
EndFunc   ;==>_TorrentGetFileNames

I would like to note that the torrent file in the example contains content that is liscened under the Creative Commons license and is not breaking the law in anyway.

It's not returning the folders, here is what i came up with:

#include <Array.au3>

$Array = _TorrentGetFileNames("http://vodo.net/assets/torrents/Beyond.the.Game.720p.x264-VODO.torrent")
_ArrayDisplay($Array)

Func _TorrentGetFileNames($sFile)
    Local $aData, $aRet[1]
    $aData = StringSplit(BinaryToString(InetRead($sFile)), ':')
    
    For $i = 1 To $aData[0]
        If StringLeft($aData[$i], 4) = 'path' Then
            StringRegExpReplace($aData[$i+1], '^.*\.', '')
            
            If @extended = 0 Then ;it's a folder
                $aRet[0] += 1
                ReDim $aRet[$aRet[0]+1]
                $aRet[$aRet[0]] = StringRegExpReplace($aData[$i+1], '\d+$', '') & '|' & StringRegExpReplace($aData[$i+2], 'e\w+\d$', '')
            Else
                $aRet[0] += 1
                ReDim $aRet[$aRet[0]+1]
                $aRet[$aRet[0]] = StringRegExpReplace($aData[$i+1], 'e\w+\d$', '')
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
    
    Return $aRet
EndFunc

Excellent. Thanks for the tweak (well rewrite pretty much). I really have to cave in and learn regular expressions.

@FuryCell and @MrCreatoR

Are your both functions limited to vodo.net ?

The first torrent link I try return an array bigger than 10 thousand !

Use Decode to split the file into fields you can then edit. Encoding was done, so I could find out the hash of a torrent.

[MrCreatoR]

return an array bigger than 10 thousand !

So what is the problem, the torrent contain that much files

Although there is few mistakes in the returned array.

I meant to post this awhile back

Interesting, i think i saw these functions on C somewhere.

Now the question is, how to use it to get files list?

I have tried like this:

#include <Array.au3>

$Array = _TorrentGetFileNames("http://vodo.net/assets/torrents/Beyond.the.Game.720p.x264-VODO.torrent")
_ArrayDisplay($Array)

Func _TorrentGetFileNames($sFile)
    Local $sData = BinaryToString(InetRead($sFile))
    Return decode($sData)
EndFunc

But it's showing only the torrent's info

I saw them too somewhere. I think my best bet is to make them into a dll from C/C++ but I'm only beginning to grasp C++ however thats next on my list as a learning project.

@FuryCell and @MrCreatoR

Are your both functions limited to vodo.net ?

The first torrent link I try : "http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/6210411/Team_Fortress_2_Patch_v1.1.3.4__AutoUpdate_(No-Steam)_OrangeBox.6210411.TPB.torrent"

return an array bigger than 10 thousand !

Please remove that link. I know Jon dosen't appreciate links to illegal content and I'd rather not get this topic locked as torrents can quickly become a shady subject if we are not careful.

I meant to post this awhile back:

Thanks for sharing. This should make things even easier.

That GPL logo under the script means nothing. Please remove it or license your code under GPL proper.

So what would be more proper? Zipping it up and putting the gpl liscense text file in the zip as well?

Interesting read. I've removed the GPL logo and will license it proper.

[FuryCell]

New version I whipped up this morning. Detects files in subfolders and returns proper results.

(so far )

If someone finds a torrent that makes it fail please let me know. (PM me the link to the torrent.Please don't post it here.)

Edit:Yes I know its ugly and could be done better with StringRegExp()
