I didn't identify what the problem was, opting to use the java program instead. I didn't experience the same thing pulling images out of Check21 files.<br /><br />If the script at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=784982 doesn't extract everything properly from your X9.37 file, it's possible that there are file conversion problems going on, like EBCDIC to ASCII, or Unix to Windows linefeed conversion... but that's just a guess. It could also be something simple like naming the file .jpg when it's really TIFF data and your image viewer doesn't figure out what's up.<br /><br />Are you the recipient of the file? Did you get it via FTP? If so, make sure you pull it down in binary mode.<br /><br />If not, and if it's a test file that doesn't have real bank account info in it, shoot it to me in an email (ceautery@gmail.com) and I'll try to give you a better answer.Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175947559336769793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11885757.post-57134836912532700822010-12-16T17:21:19.000-05:002010-12-16T17:21:19.000-05:00I have been messing with extracting the data and i...I have been messing with extracting the data and image files from FRB X9.37 files today. I have had the most luck with your code (I believe you wrote the other TIFF version that's floating around here as well). <br /><br />However, the TIFFs and JPGs are all unusable. Do you know what artifacts are being introduced into these image files making them "corrupt"? I wouldn't know where to start in identifying the artifacts but you mentioned it in your post so I was wondering if you knew what could be searched for/replaced/etc. I could work to get those out of the image files created.<br /><br />Any assistance is much appreciated. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction with these Perl scripts.<br /><br />JeffJeff Crosshttp://www.jeffcrossphoto.comnoreply@blogger.com
