reading binary data from file

[Marek 'MMx' Ludha]

Hi.

I need to read binary data from file. So far I have tried

var inStream =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/file-input-stream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIFileInputStream);
inStream.init(cFile, 0x01, 0600, 0);
var sStream =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/scriptableinputstream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableInputStream);
sStream.init(inStream);
var data = "";
data = sStream.read(sStream.available());

sStream.available() tells the correct number of bytes available, but
sStream.read() stops reading on the first zero byte. I have also tried
nsIBinaryInputStream:

var sStream =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/binaryinputstream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIBinaryInputStream);
sStream.setInputStream(inStream);
var byteArray = [];
sStream.readByteArray(sStream.available(), byteArray);

sStream.available() still works as expected, but
sStream.readByteArray() leaves byteArray unchanged.
Can anyone point me the right direction please? Thanks in advance for
any answer.

Yeah, you can't use nsIScriptableInputStream for binary data, unfortunately.

This needs to be:
var byteArray = sStream.readByteArray(sStream.available());
then it should work.
