Reading 16-bit data in SPLUS.

["Faelt, Edvard" <efaelt@envivopharma.com>]

Hello everyone,

I need to read 16-bit integers stored in binary files on Windows into SPLUS 6.2, and can't really figure out a good way of doing it. I've tried using the readMapped() function, but the closest thing it accepts is 32-bit integer mode. I also tried reading the files as 32-bit anyway and then splitting the 32-bit integers into 16-bit ones, but when I do that I can't read the entire contents of the file if it has an odd number of 16-bit integers (the last one will be omitted because I'm trying to read 32-bit integers). So, now I'm wondering how you're supposed to do this. Is there a way of creating your own modes, e.g., or simply reading single bytes from binary files? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Edward.
