GetResource

Purpose

Retrieves the specified resource from an open .fc or .rez file.

Syntax

ServerFile.GetResource (ResourceType, ResourceID) BinaryType

ResourceType	A string representing the resource type.
ResourceID	An integer representing the resource ID.
BinaryType	The binary type for this resource. The binary type is similar to string, but can include NULL characters. Binary data is of arbitrary length with no terminator and includes the full eight bits of fidelity without translation, EOL or NULL manipulation. It is commonly used for application executables, binary picture formats and other binary file types that are not human-readable. In the case of .rez files, this is most often picture, icon or sound data.

Example

Dim sf as ServerFile

Dim sf2 as ServerFile

Dim f as File

' Open the resource file from the server

sf.OpenFile("FCAS Config|JPEG1000.rez")

' Write a resource to local disk

f.OpenFile(fcpofolder & "\Test.JPG",fcWrite)

f.Write(sf.GetResource("JPEG",1000))

f.CloseFile

' Add a resource to another file

sf2.CreateFile("FCAS Config|newrez.rez",fcFile)

sf2.AddResource("JPEG",1000,"Name",sf.GetResource("JPEG",1000),FALSE)

sf2.AddResource("JPEG",1001,"Name",sf.GetResource("JPEG",1000),FALSE)

sf2.Commit

f.OpenFile(fcpofolder & "\Test2.JPG",fcWrite)

f.Write(sf2.GetResource("JPEG",1000))

f.CloseFile

f.OpenFile(fcpofolder & "\Test3.JPG",fcWrite)

f.Write(sf2.GetResource("JPEG",1001))

f.CloseFile

' Delete a resource from a server file

sf2.DelResource("JPEG",1000)
