Question

I know that there is a way to make a for loop work like a while loop.

I have this code working :

while (BR.BaseStream.Position < BR.BaseStream.Length) // BR = BinaryReader
{
    int BlockLength = BR.ReadInt32();
    byte[] Content = BR.ReadBytes(BlockLength);
}

I need the for equivalent for this while loop..

So Far, I have this :

for (long Position = BR.BaseStream.Position; Position < BR.BaseStream.Length; //Don't Know This)
{
    int BlockLength = BR.ReadInt32();
    byte[] Content = BR.ReadBytes(BlockLength);
}

Answer 1

Every time you use one of the Read methods, the BinaryReader increments it’s position, so you don’t actually need anything in that section.

for (long Position = BR.BaseStream.Position; Position < BR.BaseStream.Length; Position = BR.BaseStream.Position)
{
    int BlockLength = BR.ReadInt32();
    byte[] Content = BR.ReadBytes(BlockLength);
}

Update: I just realized that the Position variable isn’t ever getting updated. You could either update it at the end of the for loop or in the third section. I updated the code to update Position in the third section of the for loop.
