Hi,

I have a binary file that was written by a Delphi application and I got 
the description of all the records and structures in the file.

I did a search to learn how to read a binary file and found 
http://www.heatonresearch.com/articles/22/page2.html. I use the 
BinaryFile class to read the file and I have managed to get all strings 
out of the file.

My problem is that I can't get a single number right so I made a program 
that seek (below) through the whole file but without luck.
The seek program sets the "Endian" and "signed" in all combinations for 
all positions through out the binary file.  I do find some values but 
not at the right position and not the expected values.
I have also tried:
  - a "Long" version
  - used readWord (2 bytes)
  - used java's readFloat()
  but no luck.

Is there anyone who can help me get my bits straight?

TIA

static void seekFloatValue(File ff, float value) throws
                     FileNotFoundException {
   RandomAccessFile file = new RandomAccessFile(ff, "r");
   BinaryFile bin = new BinaryFile(file);

   try {
     long len = file.length();
     System.out.println("seekValueFloat value="+value+"  len="+len+" 
FileName:"+ff);
     float tmp=0;
     for (int i = 0; i<=len-4; i++) {
        for (int j=0;j<4;j++) {
           switch(j) {
       case 0:bin.setEndian(bin.BIG_ENDIAN);bin.setSigned(true);
              break;
       case 1:bin.setEndian(bin.LITTLE_ENDIAN);bin.setSigned(true);
              break;
       case 2:bin.setEndian(bin.BIG_ENDIAN);bin.setSigned(false);
              break;
       default:bin.setEndian(bin.LITTLE_ENDIAN);bin.setSigned(false);
      }
      bin.setPos(i);
      tmp = (float) bin.readDWord();
      if (tmp == value)
          System.out.println("pos" + i + "   tmp=" + tmp + "   ENDIAN=" +
                             bin.getEndian() + "   signed=" +
                             bin.getSigned());
     }
    }

  } catch (Exception e) {
       System.out.println("**Error: " + e.getMessage());
    }
