SubjectHeader Detector Request new Reply to this message

Hi Roman, thanks as always for the kick ass app. If you happen to be poking around the header detector code, I had another request. I am looking into another music set, specifically MDX files. The translated spec can be found in here: http://www.vorc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=453 . Basically, I would like to be able to read up until the hex string 0x0D + 0x0A + 0x1A (0d0a1a) is encountered, and skip everything before and including the trailing string, for checksum calculation. I realize this could be done by creating 1024 rules (what I believe to be the max length for the 'song title' field), but was hoping for a more elegant solution. Any ideas are appreciated if I have missed a way to do this with the current format. Thanks again.

Thanks Roman, after a little more inspection of files, it appears that sometimes the second portion of the header, 'PCM Data' can also have varying values. For files that a true duplicates, one could have the name in uppercase letters, while the other is in lowercase. So there may be a need to have multiple read until character found, then skip rules. In any case, thanks for looking into it.
