Ms::BinaryResources

A way to read Microsoft's binary resource files in Ruby.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ms-binary-resources'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ms-binary-resources

Usage

reader = Ms::BinaryResources::Reader.new('/path/to/File.resources')
reader.keys
=> ['key1', 'key2', ...]
reader.key? 'key1'
=> true
reader.key? 'keyxx'
=> false
reader['key1']
=> 'some value'
reader.type_of 'key2'
=> :int32
reader['key2']
=> 8675309

Caveats

Currently only string, uint and int value types are supported. Pull requests with additional types are great, include tests!

Thanks

This is largely cribbed off of the Mono Project's class library implementation of ResourceReader and friends.
