Hi all, Looking at the IO.readlines source in io.c, it looks to me like they grab 8k chunks, split on the input record separator, and buffer accordingly. Since it looks like ReadFileScatter() does some of that work automatically (in page file sized chunks), I thought I''d give it a try. Here''s what I''ve got, but it doesn''t work. I have an incorrect parameter

Hi folks, I''ve got most everything done for the pure Ruby version of win32-file. The last thing left (since I''ll be moving the IO methods to a different package eventually) is the file security stuff. Here''s what I''ve got so far for the get_permissions method. However, I''m stuck at GetAce(). If someone could help me finish up this method, I

Hi all, I''ve been prototyping a Windows-only Dir class for Ruby. Below is what I''ve got so far. The class methods were easy, except for Dir.glob. The code in dir.c is just nasty, and I can''t help but think that it could be heavily refactored. I did come across this link: http://www.codeproject.com/file/fileglob.asp But I haven''t investigated it yet. Anyone

Hi all, A user recently ran into an issue with win32-eventlog and the EventLog#read method when reading a saved log file. It seems that there''s an issue. After some experimentation I found that the problem seems to be that the initial buffer to ReadEventLog() in line 558 is too small, so it tries a second call to ReadEventLog() with a larger buffer. The problem is that, after I

Hi all, First, I just realized I''ll need to go back and fix some of the prototype declarations for windows-pr. The callback parameters will now need to be set to ''K''. ReadFileEx is one example of this. For purposes of my question, let''s assume ReadFileEx has been declared like so: API.new(''ReadFileEx'', ''LPLPK'',

Hi all, It seems that a void prototype requires an explicit argument in our version of win32/api: C:\>irb irb(main):001:0> require ''win32/api'' => true irb(main):002:0> include Win32 => Object irb(main):003:0> require ''Win32API'' => true # Our version irb(main):004:0> GetLastErrorA = API.new(''GetLastError'',

Hi all, Ok, what am I doing wrong here? require ''windows/device_io'' require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::DeviceIO include Windows::Handle include Windows::Error fh = File.open(''test.txt'') # Assume you have this handle = get_osfhandle(fh.fileno) if handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE puts

Hi all, Anyone want to help with a native IO.foreach? I''m missing some of the critical logic here. This currently just does a straight BYTE_MAX data read, instead of a line by line data read, and doesn''t deal with lines split between multiple reads. I checked strtok into CVS (for windows-pr) if anyone wants to use that instead of String#split. It''s in

Hi, I''ve got a preliminary version of the pure Ruby version of win32-dir in CVS. However, I was hoping to work out the Unicode issue. Run this: from = "C:\\test" to = "?????" Dir.mkdir(from) unless File.exists?(from) Dir.create_junction(to, from) It works, but my explorer (and dos) window shows the name garbled. I don''t think it''s a font

Hi all, Here''s my initial stab at a pure Ruby win32-thread library that doesn''t work at all. I''m not sure how to pass the start address of the arguments to the callback. I thought about Marshal, but you can''t marshal a proc. BTW, the CreateThread method in windows-pr needs to be updated for this to have any hope of success. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan #

You can''t rake without swig now. I keep swig out of my path so I can do a build without swig to be sure it works with the download.

Hi all I have the following model: class PhotoGallery < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :title, :description, :file_path, :title_photo_id has_many :photos, :dependent => :destroy belongs_to :title_photo, :class_name => ''Photo'', :foreign_key => ''title_photo_id'' validates_presence_of :title, :description, :file_path

Hi all, Here''s what I''ve come up with so far for a pure Ruby Dir.glob for MS Windows. It almost works. The problem right now is the [] notation, which I''m not translating properly into a regex. I haven''t started on the ''**'' notation yet either, but I figure that''s more of a control flow issue. Feel free to disagree with me and/or

Hi, I added the Windows::WSA module to windows-pr recently (it''s in the latest git repo). However, I can''t seem to make WSAStartup work. I tried the following bit of code, only to get "The Windows Sockets version requested is not supported" on my Vista box. Is it really not supported on Vista? The docs say Win2k or later. Or is there another issue? require

Hi, Windows Vista Home Premium ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-mswin32_90] I noticed there was an ordinal bug in win32-security and Ruby 1.9.x. I fixed those easily enough, but now we''re left with this: 1) Error: test_string_to_sid(TC_Win32_Security_Sid): ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Currently, most of the modules define an error class of some sort (e.g. cWin32ServiceError). Within the code, the error is raised like this: rb_raise(cWin32ServiceError,ErrorDescription(GetLastError())); It seems logical that, instead of appending the message every time, that we should simply call ErrorDescription(GetLastError()) simply by raising an error (i.e. within the
