Yes :) my spelling is not good, sorry!
No problem -- I just wanted to make sure I was understanding you.
OLE Document using boost::io stream interface. The problem is I'm not sure how to "return or extract" more than one document or compressed file from a stream.
If I understand you correctly, with the current library you need to use the COM interface to get an instance of IStream which can then be easily wrapped as a seekable resource.
COM? I need my work to compile in POSIX OSs, like Linux, etc and Windows too. More details will be appreciated?
I'm not sure I follow. If you have a linux compatible library for reading OLE Compound Documents, there should be some class corresponding to IStream. If you're trying to implement OLE Compound Document support from scratch, it sounds like a big job and I can't help you much. In my experience, microsoft file formats are very poorly documented.
All boost examples boost::io::copy() a whole stream to another but not just part of it. I'll appreciate any help, best regards and thank you for such a helpful
library
I wrote another library with direct support for hierarchical filesystems such as zip files or OLE Compound Documents. A modified version might be a candidate for includion in Boost at some future date. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I believe it supported the following usage:
How can I take a look to this library? any link to dowload will be great!
The library needs to be cleaned up a lot before I can post it. If there is sufficient interest, I'll try to do it, but it would be at least a couple months from now, since I'll be busy trying to get iostreams ready for 1.33. Best Regards, Jonathan
