Analyze binary file content

rudi · October 19, 2017

Hello.

I'm too stupid to see my mistake:

To investigate the internal "dictionary" of TIFF files I'd like to read in the files in binary mode and to check, if there are more than one pages "in" this TIFF.

Notepad++, "View as Hex" is presenting the first bytes as "49 49 2a 20 08 20 20 20 12" for the TIF attached to this posting

The "TIFF Header Format" is easy:

Offset 00h, 2 Byte = Byte Order, "II"=intel, "MM"=motorola. (I = 0x49)

--> II

Offset 02h, 2 Byte = Version Nr.

Offset 04h, 4 Byte = pointer to first IFD entry

Description of TIFF header: https://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/faq.html#q3

Howto read and analyse the binary content correctly? This is my messy, not operational code:

$sampleTiff="H:\daten\tif\11\11\111111.TIF"
$h=FileOpen($sampleTiff,16)
$content=FileRead($h)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $content = ' & $content & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
FileClose($h)

$type=VarGetType($content)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $type = ' & $type & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console


$ToString=BinaryToString($content)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $ToString = ' & $ToString & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF  & @CRLF)

$content=StringTrimLeft($content,2) ; cut off the leading "0x"
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $content = ' & $content & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console


for $i = 1 to 8 step 8
    $next=StringMid($content,$i,2)
    ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') :     $next = ' &     $next & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
    $Chr=BinaryToString($next)
    ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') :     $Chr = ' &  $Chr & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "---" & @CRLF)
Next

It's strange. I see "49 49 2A 00 08 00 00 00" in attached "111111.TIF"

$hFile = FileOpen("111111.tif", 16)
$ByteOrder = FileRead($hFile, 2)
$Version = FileRead($hFile, 2)
$FirstIFD = FileRead($hFile, 4)
FileClose($hFile)

ConsoleWrite($ByteOrder & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($Version & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($FirstIFD & @CRLF)

Hello,

thanks for your reply.

You are right. I copy-pasted the displayed values from Notepad++ (Hex View) and didn't notice, that they changed after beeing pasted here.

Amazing behaviour: Notepad++ can copy values to the clipboard, and when using this feature, "00" is modified to "20", no clue, why, all other values are correct. This is reproducable...

49 49 2a 00 08 00 00 00 11 00 fe 00 04 00 01 00

Your code is quite exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't aware, that after opening a file in binary mode I am able to "read <offset> <ount-of-bytes>".

That should do, thanks a lot!

Regards, Rudi.

Danyfirex · October 19, 2017

Because If you use that notepad change 00 to 20 is to avoid end of string character (null bytes) dont care about. I suggest you to use a real hex editor. HxD is ok.

Saludos

rudi · October 19, 2017

Hello,

thanks for your reply. Notepad++ does *NOT* take the real values to the clipboard, but the "string representation". Except for "00", that's replaced with "20", as far as I can see it right now...

Regards, Rudi.

somewhat modified code:

; $sampleTiff="H:\daten\tif\11\11\111111.TIF"

ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $Bo2 = ' & $Bo2 & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
; is there a way to read the "0x4949" as "II" in one run? (I = indigo = 0x49)

ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $TVer1 = ' & $TVer1 & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
; the first read value seems to be the HighByte (big/little endian???)
; 2A = 42 = Version Number for all TIFFs I can touch right now. But it's 0x2A00, not 0x002A --> again little / big endian???


$IDF1Start=FileRead($hFile,4)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $IDF1Start = ' & $IDF1Start & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
; offset 0x08 is correct.

$IDF1Count=FileRead($hFile,2)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $IDF1Count = ' & $IDF1Count & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
; 0x11 = 17 entries a 12 bytes --> again it's 0x1100, not 0x0011


FileClose($hFile)


$Hex17=Hex(17,4)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $Hex17 = ' & $Hex17 & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

This is giving these consolewrite outputs. So I assume, I need to "swap" little-endian/big-endian

Is there a funktion doing so, that I've missed?

May I suggest you read the header into a struct first (see DllStructCreate), then read individual elements with DllStructGetData? See my Xbase.au3 for an example (link in my sig).

rudi · October 19, 2017

Hello.

Thanks for your reply.

I never used DllStructCreate so far ... :sweating:

All I need is a look at the Pointer "Next IDF". If that value is 0x0000, then this is a single page tiff. That's all I need:

$sampleTiff="111111.TIF"

$hFile=FileOpen($sampleTiff,16)



$Bo1=chr(FileRead($hFile,1)) ; Byte Order Info, Byte 1
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $Bo1 = ' & $Bo1 & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

; 2A = 42 = Version Number for all TIFFs I can touch right now. But it's 0x2A00, not 0x002A --> again little / big endian???

ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $IDF1Start = ' & $IDF1Start & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
; offset 0x08 is correct.

$IDF1Count=FileRead($hFile,2)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $IDF1Count = ' & $IDF1Count & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
; 0x11 = 17 entries a 12 bytes --> again it's 0x1100, not 0x0011


$Hex17=Hex(17,4)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $Hex17 = ' & $Hex17 & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console


for $Skip = 1 to 17 ; due to this little / big endian issue manually set "End-Value"
    $foo=FileRead($hFile,12)
    ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $foo = ' & $foo & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

Yes, of course it would, a tiff file not being an Xbase file. :blink: I suggested this as an example how to produce a struct to read in a file header, in this case an Xbase (.dbf) database file. You define all elements using the appropriate variable type, read in the entire header (or as many bytes as you need to extract the info you need), and then use dllstructGetData to access individual elements as required. Obviously, a tiff file header will have a completely different structure than an Xbase file. But if you're only interested in a single Word, then a straight binary read would suffice.

Hello.

That's exactly, what I was looking for! :thumbsup:

I have to admit, that I didn't really get the _WinApi_SwapDword() function so far ... :mad2:

I'll do further tries later on to get it

Thanks a lot !!!

        _WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tData2), 2, $Bytes)
        If $tData2.NumDirEntries > 256 Then ExitLoop
        $iTags = $tData2.NumDirEntries * 12 + 2
        _WinAPI_SetFilePointer($hFile, $IFD + $iTags)
        _WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tData, "IFD"), 4, $Bytes)
        $IFD = $tData.IFD
        $iPages += 1
    Until $IFD = 0 or $IFD > $iFilesize - 4
    _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
    Return $iPages
EndFunc

I don't know if it is working also for TIFs multi page MM encoded.

I fail using it correctly, as the result of reading binary from the file is binary, not hex. And so far I couldn't figure out, how to convert the "binary string" to a "hex string".
