Dividing file into 10MB chunks - objective-c

I have a script that divides file into 10MB chunks. Haven't had a problem with this script until I tried to do it on a 6GB file. Getting negative values on ranges even if they are uint64_t. Any suggestions on where is the error?
NSData *conData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:fileSizeRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];
if (conData)
{
NSDictionary *headers = [response allHeaderFields];
NSString *fileSizeString = [headers objectForKey:#"Content-Length"];
uint64_t fileSize = strtoull([fileSizeString UTF8String], NULL, 0);
self.size += fileSize;
uint64_t amountOfRanges = fileSize / 10485760;
for (int i = 0; i <= amountOfRanges; i++)
{
uint64_t rangeMin = 0;
uint64_t rangeMax = 0;
if (i != amountOfRanges)
{
rangeMin = i * 10485760;
rangeMax = (i + 1) * 10485760 - 1;
}
else
{
if (i == 0)
{
rangeMin = 0;
rangeMax = fileSize - 1;
}
else
{
rangeMin = i * 10485760;
rangeMax = i * 10485760 - 1 + (fileSize - rangeMin);
}
}
}
}

You have a problem with expressions such as this:
rangeMin = i * 10485760;
Note that i is an int and 10485760 is an int literal, so the resulting int expression can easily overflow. You should ideally make i a uint64_t and/or use unsigned long long literals, e.g.
rangeMin = i * 10485760ULL;

Objective - C : unsigned int to base64

My server devs ask me to send them some data encoded with base64 with this rules:
big-endian byte order
no extra zero bytes
base64 string
for example:
10005000 → «mKol»
1234567890 → «SZYC0g»
I did some spaghetti code, and it's work. But maybe somebody have more elegant solution?
+ (NSString*)encodeBigEndianBase64:(uint32_t)value {
char *bytes = (char*) &value;
int len = sizeof(uint32_t);
char *reverseBytes = malloc(sizeof(char) * len);
unsigned long index = len - 1;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
reverseBytes[index--] = bytes[i];
int offset = 0;
while (reverseBytes[offset] == 0) {
offset++;
}
NSData *resultData;
if (offset > 0) {
int truncatedLen = (len - offset);
char *truncateBytes = malloc(sizeof(char) * truncatedLen);
for (int i = 0; i < truncatedLen ; i++)
truncateBytes[i] = reverseBytes[i + offset];
resultData = [NSData dataWithBytes:truncateBytes length:truncatedLen];
free(truncateBytes);
} else {
resultData = [NSData dataWithBytes:reverseBytes length:len];
}
free(reverseBytes);
return [[resultData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"=" withString:#""];
}
Little bit improved solution (thanks to zaph):
+ (NSString*)encodeBigEndianBase64:(uint32_t)value {
uint32_t swappedValue = CFSwapInt32HostToBig(value);
char *swappedBytes = (char*) &swappedValue;
int len = sizeof(uint32_t);
int offset = 0;
while (swappedBytes[offset] == 0) {
offset++;
}
NSData *resultData;
if (offset > 0) {
int truncatedLen = (len - offset);
char *truncateBytes = malloc(sizeof(char) * truncatedLen);
for (int i = 0; i < truncatedLen ; i++)
truncateBytes[i] = swappedBytes[i + offset];
resultData = [NSData dataWithBytes:truncateBytes length:truncatedLen];
free(truncateBytes);
} else {
resultData = [NSData dataWithBytes:swappedBytes length:len];
}
return [[resultData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength] stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"=" withString:#""];
}
For endian conversions use htons(), htonl(), ntohs(), ntohl()
network byte order is bigendian
`htons()` // host to network short
`htonl()` // host to network ling
`ntohs()` // network to host long
`ntohl()` // network to host long
These are defined in endan.h

decode route from google API

i am desperately trying to find a way on how to get an Array of all the Coordinates (or a Polyline) from the google API so that I can draw my route on the MKMapView.
( By the way, I don´t want to use the RegexKitLite)
As I found elsewhere, this should be the right way to call for the API.
NSString* apiUrlStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.google.com/maps?output=dragdir&saddr=%#&daddr=%#", saddr, daddr];
NSURL* apiUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:apiUrlStr];
encodedString = ..... ???? // here i need some code before i can call the following Method
[self polylineWithEncodedString:encodedString];
and here is a method i found, to get a polyline.
+ (MKPolyline *)polylineWithEncodedString:(NSString *)encodedString {
const char *bytes = [encodedString UTF8String];
NSUInteger length = [encodedString lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSUInteger idx = 0;
NSUInteger count = length / 4;
CLLocationCoordinate2D *coords = calloc(count, sizeof(CLLocationCoordinate2D));
NSUInteger coordIdx = 0;
float latitude = 0;
float longitude = 0;
while (idx < length) {
char byte = 0;
int res = 0;
char shift = 0;
do {
byte = bytes[idx++] - 63;
res |= (byte & 0x1F) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (byte >= 0x20);
float deltaLat = ((res & 1) ? ~(res >> 1) : (res >> 1));
latitude += deltaLat;
shift = 0;
res = 0;
do {
byte = bytes[idx++] - 0x3F;
res |= (byte & 0x1F) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (byte >= 0x20);
float deltaLon = ((res & 1) ? ~(res >> 1) : (res >> 1));
longitude += deltaLon;
float finalLat = latitude * 1E-5;
float finalLon = longitude * 1E-5;
CLLocationCoordinate2D coord = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(finalLat, finalLon);
coords[coordIdx++] = coord;
if (coordIdx == count) {
NSUInteger newCount = count + 10;
coords = realloc(coords, newCount * sizeof(CLLocationCoordinate2D));
count = newCount;
}
}
MKPolyline *polyline = [MKPolyline polylineWithCoordinates:coords count:coordIdx];
free(coords);
return polyline;
}
Code from here works perfectly well:

Objective-C RC4 Decryption

I am new to Objective-C, but am an experienced developer (C#), but I can't figure this out:
I have a string which is RC4 encrypted, and I need to decrypt it using Objective-C on the iPad (iOS 5.0). I have looked all over the net for a working example, but have had no luck finding an example that works end-to-end. Not only does the code below not return the decrypted string correctly, it returns something different every time it executes, which makes me thing a pointer is being released someplace.
Note: I do not know if it matters, but the string was encrypted using http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/RC4 and then stored as text in a Sqlite database, which I am now accessing from Objective-C (I know, the architecture sounds messy, but I can't change that at this point.)
The code I am using is (taken from RC4 encryption - CommonCrypto (Objective-C) vs PHP):
+ (NSString*)decryptData:(NSData*) dataToDecrypt
{
const void *vplainText;
size_t plainTextBufferSize;
plainTextBufferSize = [dataToDecrypt length];
vplainText = [dataToDecrypt bytes];
CCCryptorStatus ccStatus;
uint8_t *bufferPtr = NULL;
size_t bufferPtrSize = 0;
size_t movedBytes = 0;
bufferPtrSize = (plainTextBufferSize + kCCBlockSize3DES) & ~(kCCBlockSize3DES - 1);
bufferPtr = malloc( bufferPtrSize * sizeof(uint8_t));
memset((void *)bufferPtr, 0x0, bufferPtrSize);
NSString *key = #"theKeyIUsedtoEncryptInTheFirstPlace";
const void *vkey = (const void *) [key UTF8String];
size_t keyLength = [[key dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] length];
ccStatus = CCCrypt(kCCDecrypt,
kCCAlgorithmRC4,
0,
vkey,
kCCKeySizeDES,
nil,
vplainText,
plainTextBufferSize,
(void *)bufferPtr,
bufferPtrSize,
&movedBytes);
if (ccStatus == kCCSuccess) NSLog(#"SUCCESS");
/*else*/ if (ccStatus == kCCParamError) return #"PARAM ERROR";
else if (ccStatus == kCCBufferTooSmall) return #"BUFFER TOO SMALL";
else if (ccStatus == kCCMemoryFailure) return #"MEMORY FAILURE";
else if (ccStatus == kCCAlignmentError) return #"ALIGNMENT";
else if (ccStatus == kCCDecodeError) return #"DECODE ERROR";
else if (ccStatus == kCCUnimplemented) return #"UNIMPLEMENTED";
NSString *result = [[ NSString alloc ] initWithData: [NSData dataWithBytes:(const void *)bufferPtr length:(NSUInteger)movedBytes] encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#", result);
return result;
}
Use this function for encryption and decryption. (Just put in the encoded string with same key again to decode it).
-(NSString*) rc4Key:(NSString*) key str:(NSString*) str
{
int j = 0;
unichar res[str.length];
const unichar* buffer = res;
unsigned char s[256];
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
s[i] = i;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
j = (j + s[i] + [key characterAtIndex:(i % key.length)]) % 256;
swap(s[i], s[j]);
}
int i = j = 0;
for (int y = 0; y < str.length; y++)
{
i = (i + 1) % 256;
j = (j + s[i]) % 256;
swap(s[i], s[j]);
unsigned char f = [str characterAtIndex:y] ^ s[ (s[i] + s[j]) % 256];
res[y] = f;
}
return [NSString stringWithCharacters:buffer length:str.length];
}
I see a couple of references to DES in your code (kCCKeySizeDES, kCCBlockSize3DES). That doesn't seem right -- at a minimum, kCCKeySizeDES should probably be replaced with keyLength.
If that doesn't solve it, I'd look next at possible text encoding issues. The data in SQLite might be UTF8-encoded binary data, in which case you'll probably have to "decode" it by converting from UTF8 to ISO8859-1.
RC4 implementation translated from .net:
+(NSString*)RC4:(NSString *)data key:(NSString *)key
{
id x;
int y = 0;
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
NSMutableArray *box = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:256];
NSString *result = #"";
for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
[box addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:i]];
}
for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
j = ((int)[key characterAtIndex:(i % key.length)] + [[box objectAtIndex:i] intValue] + j) % 256;
x = [box objectAtIndex:i];
[box setObject:[box objectAtIndex:j] atIndexedSubscript:i];
[box setObject:x atIndexedSubscript:j];
}
for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
y = i % 256;
j = ([[box objectAtIndex:y] intValue] + j) % 256;
x = [box objectAtIndex:y];
[box setObject:[box objectAtIndex:j] atIndexedSubscript:y];
[box setObject:x atIndexedSubscript:j];
NSString *c = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%c", ([data characterAtIndex:i] ^ (char)[[box objectAtIndex:([[box objectAtIndex:y] intValue] + [[box objectAtIndex:j] intValue]) % 256] intValue])];
result = [result stringByAppendingString:c];
}
return result;
}

ExtAudioFileWrite puzzler (kExtAudioFileError_InvalidOperationOrder error)

The following code skips the first second of audio in a pcm caf file and removes the last 5 seconds, writing to a temp file (which will be 6 seconds shorter than the input). The loop, everytime, produces a kExtAudioFileError_InvalidOperationOrder on the ExtAudioFileWrite. What am I doing wrong?
NSString *destURLString = [self.track.location absoluteString];
destURLString = [destURLString substringToIndex:([destURLString length] - 4)]; //remove .caf

UInt32 totalFramecount = 0;
while(true) {

bufferList.mBuffers[0].mNumberChannels = 1;
bufferList.mBuffers[0].mData = buffer; //pointer to buffer of audio data
bufferList.mBuffers[0].mDataByteSize = 65536; //number of bytes in the buffer
UInt32 frameCount = 65536 / 2; //2 bytes per frame
// Read a chunk of input
OSStatus status = ExtAudioFileRead(inputFile, &frameCount, &bufferList);
totalFramecount += frameCount;
NSLog(#"read status %i", status);
//NSLog(#"loaded %f KB of data in %i frames", frameCount*2 / 1024.0, frameCount);
NSLog(#"loaded %i frames and stopping at %i", totalFramecount, newLength);
if (!frameCount || totalFramecount >= newLength) {
//termination condition
break;
}
OSStatus writeStatus = ExtAudioFileWrite(outputFile, frameCount, &bufferList);
NSLog(#"ws: %i", writeStatus);
}
free(buffer);
ExtAudioFileDispose(inputFile);
ExtAudioFileDispose(outputFile);
Turns out ExtAudioFileCreateWithURL returns a file already open, so the call to ExtAudioFileOpenURL was not needed, even though it returns successfully. I removed that and all works correctly.

How to Base64 encoding on the iPhone

How do I do Base64 encoding on the iPhone?
I have found a few examples that looked promising, but could never get any of them to work on the phone.
You can see an example here.
This is for iOS7+.
I copy the code here, just in case:
// Create NSData object
NSData *nsdata = [#"iOS Developer Tips encoded in Base64"
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// Get NSString from NSData object in Base64
NSString *base64Encoded = [nsdata base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
// Print the Base64 encoded string
NSLog(#"Encoded: %#", base64Encoded);
// Let's go the other way...
// NSData from the Base64 encoded str
NSData *nsdataFromBase64String = [[NSData alloc]
initWithBase64EncodedString:base64Encoded options:0];
// Decoded NSString from the NSData
NSString *base64Decoded = [[NSString alloc]
initWithData:nsdataFromBase64String encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"Decoded: %#", base64Decoded);
Use this library to encode Base64.
It also supports ARC
I also had trouble finding working code for the iPhone that I could understand.
I finally wrote this.
-(NSString *)Base64Encode:(NSData *)data;
-(NSString *)Base64Encode:(NSData *)data{
//Point to start of the data and set buffer sizes
int inLength = [data length];
int outLength = ((((inLength * 4)/3)/4)*4) + (((inLength * 4)/3)%4 ? 4 : 0);
const char *inputBuffer = [data bytes];
char *outputBuffer = malloc(outLength+1);
outputBuffer[outLength] = 0;
//64 digit code
static char Encode[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/";
//Start the count
int cycle = 0;
int inpos = 0;
int outpos = 0;
char temp;
//Pad the last to bytes, the outbuffer must always be a multiple of 4.
outputBuffer[outLength-1] = '=';
outputBuffer[outLength-2] = '=';

Download following two files from GitHub
Base64.h
Base64.m
Add these files to your project
Import header file in desired file
#import "Base64.h"
And use as to encode
NSString *plainText = #"Your String";
NSString *base64String = [plainText base64EncodedStringWithWrapWidth:0];
Also you can decode it as
NSString *plainText = [base64String base64DecodedString];
Try this out...this worked perfectly for me.create a category Base64.h and Base 64.m,Import to any class you want to use and call it using single line for base 64 encoding to happen.

now import the above category to any class and convert the string like below
NSString *authString = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"OD0EK819OJFIFT6OJZZXT09Y1YUT1EJ2"]
stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSData *inputData = [authString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *finalAuth =[Base64 encode:inputData];
NSLog(#"Encoded string =%#", finalAuth);
reference
NSString *plainString = #"foo";
Encoding
NSData *plainData = [plainString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *base64String = [plainData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
NSLog(#"%#", base64String); // Zm9v
Decoding
NSData *decodedData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:base64String options:0];
NSString *decodedString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:decodedData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#", decodedString); // foo
Seems as of iOS 7 you no longer need any libraries to encode in Base64. Following methods on NSData can be used to Base64 encode:
base64EncodedDataWithOptions:
– base64EncodedStringWithOptions:
I did my own implementation, where has been removed all checks inside the loop. So on big amount of data, it works faster. You can take it as a basis for own solution.
static char *alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/";
+ (NSString *)encodeString:(NSString *)data
{
const char *input = [data cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
unsigned long inputLength = [data length];
unsigned long modulo = inputLength % 3;
unsigned long outputLength = (inputLength / 3) * 4 + (modulo ? 4 : 0);
unsigned long j = 0;
// Do not forget about trailing zero
unsigned char *output = malloc(outputLength + 1);
output[outputLength] = 0;
// Here are no checks inside the loop, so it works much faster than other implementations
for (unsigned long i = 0; i < inputLength; i += 3) {
output[j++] = alphabet[ (input[i] & 0xFC) >> 2 ];
output[j++] = alphabet[ ((input[i] & 0x03) << 4) | ((input[i + 1] & 0xF0) >> 4) ];
output[j++] = alphabet[ ((input[i + 1] & 0x0F)) << 2 | ((input[i + 2] & 0xC0) >> 6) ];
output[j++] = alphabet[ (input[i + 2] & 0x3F) ];
}
// Padding in the end of encoded string directly depends of modulo
if (modulo > 0) {
output[outputLength - 1] = '=';
if (modulo == 1)
output[outputLength - 2] = '=';
}
NSString *s = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(const char *)output];
free(output);
return s;
}
