Reading Binary File

[Jfill]

I am converting a PHP script and I need to know what the eqivelent of "fread('file', 1)" for CF. I am reading a binary file.

CFFile syntax from the MX Reference Manual attached

<cffile
action = "readBinary"
file = "full_path_name"
variable = "var_name">

PaulKD,

Yeah I can read the file, but fread does the following

fread(param_1, param_2);

reads from a IO handle named in param_1, it reads the total bytes named in
param_2. If param_2 is bigger then the file length then fread() will read until
EOF <- en of file!

So I guess I need to read byte by byte..... how is that done?

Ok I think I stumbled on it:
"....you can access the individual bytes using normal array notation, such as MyBinary[5] to access the fifth byte."
