If you process binaries that are close to these limits on a 32-bit machine I would suggest using split_binary/2 to take out entries. e.g. you can write bin_get/3 as:<BR/><BR/>bin_get(BytesToSkip, BytesToRead, Bin) -><BR/> {_,Rest} = split_binary(Bin, BytesToSkip),<BR/> {Answer,_} = split_binary(Rest, BytesToRead),<BR/> Answer.<BR/><BR/>PerPerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02964702676374494771noreply@blogger.com
