Hi shamrock,

Thanks for answer.

Yes, I've tried regex of C but are not powerfull enough. The regex I'm using are a kind of complex and use backreference, greedy, non-greedy options, etc. The C regexs does'nt support these kind of things from what I know.

Basically I'd like to process each chunk at a time from binary using as delimiter 0xFF65, but it seems java doesn't have the option to change the line separator when read a binary, similarly as I did with ruby in sample code I show in first post.

I'm not sure, maybe someone knows an alternative or a 3rd party library that could read binary and set a custom separator.

Regards

How about using java's "next" method with a regex as argument to read the entire input string up to the delimiter 0xff65...

Hi shamrock,

I found this method "java.util.Scanner.next()" but this scanner only works with text files.

do you have a reference of the next() method you say to see examples?

Thanks again
