How to save string in a file with special-chars

[OnlyOne]

Hello,

i´m usingthe MD5-llb to create a password.

Then i  want to save this MD5-string to a file and later read it back abd compare.

Works perfect with one proplem:

Some word create a "\r" in the MD5-string and when i save this string to a file and read it back then its read back as a "\n" so that the compare is not working.

My question is: How can i save a string exactly like it is to somewhere and read it back (also invisible chars)

For example the word: heinz

is in MD5: \r\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95 (string indicator as codes display)

when i save the string to a file then i rerad back: \n\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95

I used the "write text file" and "read text file"

What do i have to use to save and read the same?

Thx

I believe an MD5 hash is 16 bytes long. Use the binary read and write file I/O functions and specify the length of the data to be read or written.

Seems to work.

Now i read back \00\00\00\10\r\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95

The question is only why there are 4 bytes offset? The first 4 bytes are always 00 00 00 10?

What does this mean?

Have you tried right clicking and unselecting 'Convert EOL'?

The 10 (16 in decimal) is the string length. Set the input "prepend array or string size" to FALSE.

Hi dan_u,

thx for the information. But i dont have an input "prepend array or string size".

[dan_u]

In the binary write function this input exists. In the text function of course it doesn't.

Hm, now at the second look there is the input.

I dont know where i looked before.

Thx for the help
