Memory after decode

[Oleg2339798]

Hi, when i use this code Lua memory shows about 76mb, while file is just 33

Code:

  
    local open = fileOpen(name) 
    local readbyte = fileRead( open, fileGetSize ( open )) 
    local k = base64Decode(teaDecode( readbyte, Pass )) 
    local f = fileCreate("temp")  
    fileWrite(f, k) 
    fileClose(f) 
    k=nil 
    readbyte=nil 
    fileClose(open) 
    fileDelete("temp") 
  

Where could be the problem?

when the script enters the server and runs. It becomes bigger in size. Not because they are 33 mb so they wont be bigger.

There is scripts that are 2kb in size but when u put it and loads. it be 30 kb, so there is a difference in size.

So I ask, where can script store these 90 MB, when all the variables I zeroed

Add: size increases only after runing script, so there are place where data in not cleared

This is caused by the way Lua strings are represented in memory.

To be able to deal with big files, you have to split them into small chunks as follows:

local file = fileOpen("bigfile.dat") 
local size = fileGetSize(file) 
  
-- Get number of chunks needed (50 KB chunk size) 
local chunkSize = 50000 
local numChunks = math.ceil(size / chunkSize) 
  
-- Read until the end is reached 
while not fileIsEOF(file) do 
    local readBytes = fileRead(file, chunkSize) 
    local decrypted = base64Decode(teaDecode(readBytes , Pass)) 
    fileWrite(otherFile, decrypted) 
end 

You have to split the base64Encode and teaEncode calls on the input files as well though.

i have the problem. I encoded with similar code and all was ok, when i try to decode it saves just 80kb
