So I made a lua extension that reads cea file local and if not found reads table files.

Extension:

I ended up coming up with this to read the table files.

I tried c&p you code within a 100x for-loop to load a same 4M binary table file, and count its returned string sum. The result return correctly. So stringStream is ok to handle binary file.
It may be something outside the code to cause the inconsistency?
I've no idea why too~

btw, I also do an unrelated test where do above almost the same with 10000x of a 500k table file with or without destroy the stringStream explicitly and manually. (since there is a follow up at fearlessrevolution about destroying object)

If destroy, the CE memory usage is around 70~80M during the loop.

If not destroy, the CE memory usage grow to as large as 10G during the loop, but all released soon after the loop.

It seems CE will auto-destroy at least stringStream object, but only when CE has 'leisure time?', it may be better manually destroy that's manually created.

bye~

Yeah just weird how it worked fine for a while, then just kinda stopped, I feel like there has to be some thing I add that caused it, but just can't find it.

I'll keep playing with it.

Thanks again for the help though.

I think I have read a lot of your posts so this isn't first time you have helped me.

I also used copyFrom() method many times. I also had few problems. And this is my conclusion: always set Position property when using copyFrom.

Try this:

OK, That really make sense, I never told it where to read form, Kinda know it was some thing small but just could't see it.

I will have to give it a try, Thanks for the all the help.
