CR/LF in data read from a socket

Hello,
I am trying to write a client/server program in an effort to learn Ruby.
I
have been playing around with Ruby for about 2 months and I really love
it.
As I developed my program (DICOM tool kit) I am faced with an issue on
which
I spend almost a day to figure out. I know what is happening but don’t
know
why and how to correct it. Any pointers will help. Thanks. Here it is:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Snippet of the code:

.

open the socket

require ‘socket’
port =4010
server = TCPServer.new(‘localhost’, port)
while (session = server.accept)

}
.
.
.

read the stream

ind=0
while msgCtrlHdr!= 2
p “Inside handleC_STORE_RQ Entering Loop…”

read next PDU

pduType= session.getc
printf(“PDU Type = %d\n”,pduType)

read the pdu length and the pdu itself.

pduLength=session.read(5).unpack(‘xN’)[0]
print “pduLength =”,pduLength,"\n"
pdu=session.read(pduLength)
itemLength, presCtxt=pdu.slice!(0,5).unpack(‘Nc’)
print “itemLength =”,itemLength," presCtxt =",presCtxt,"\n"
msgCtrlHdr=pdu.slice!(0,1).unpack(‘c’)[0]
outputFile = File.new( “test_image”+ind.to_s,“w”)
outputFile.syswrite(pdu)
ind=ind+1
image << pdu
#printf(“Image Length = %d\n”,image.length)
end

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As you can see mine is the server part and the client is a standard Java
program that sends out images, I did not write it, it is a commercial
program.
When I load the output file in to a hex editor (Ultraedit) I see “0D”
and
“0A” chars (CR and LF) in the file, several of them where they should
not
be.
Following is a snippet of the data from ultra edit.

Hi Mac,

if you’re on Windows you have to open the output file in binary mode:

outputFile = File.new( “test_image”+ind.to_s, “wb” )

Also look at the block form of File.open to automatically close the
output file.

Pit,
Thanks for the correction, that fixed it! Really appreciate it.
There is obiviously lack of dacumentation in Ruby world.

I had to respond to this. I’m not sure if you’re comparing to
java/.NET, or maybe perl/python or lisp/smalltalk/ML/some of those
kinds of environments. There actually is heaps of info on the net.
I’ve seen people produce lots of top-quality code in response to
queries on this mail list, really detailed analysis, etc. It’s really
extraordinary, sometimesyou have to ask.
