Problem reading input

Hello all,

I have a problem while trying to use utils.input or io.read in my script.
The first reading is ok, but the next one is not. It looks like I have a carriage return in the input captured.
I use io.flush before, but it still doesn't work.

Helllllp smile

Re: Problem reading input

After further investigations, i've found someting quite strange.

The problem occurs only after calling a core method which calculates CRCs.

Here is a short example which shows the problem : enter 'yes' how many times you want, and it displays that you keyed in 'yes'.
If you enter 'crc', it displays a crc.
After having tried 'crc', try to enter again whatever crc or yes, it won't work anymore ...


local utils = require('utils')

local function main()
local crcD
local bool = true
local kbinput


repeat
kbinput = utils.input("Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :")
if kbinput == "crc" then
    crcD = utils.SwapEndianness(core.reveng_runmodel("CRC-16/ARC", "A00000000000000F", false, '0'),16)
    print("***********************************************************Calc of a CRC :"..crcD)
    end
if kbinput == "yes" then
    print("********************You keyed in :"..kbinput)
    end
until bool == false
   
end

main()

Re: Problem reading input

Here is a quick and dirty way of getting rid of the bug :

input = utils.input(message)
if string.byte(string.sub(input,-1)) == 13 then input = string.sub(input,1,(string.len(input)-1)) end

Re: Problem reading input

I don't follow,  the input function works just fine.

local utils = require('utils')

local function main()
    local crcD
    local bool = true
    local kbinput

    repeat
        kbinput = utils.input("Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :")

        if kbinput == "crc" then
            crcD = utils.SwapEndianness(core.reveng_runmodel("CRC-16/ARC", "A00000000000000F", false, '0'),16)
            print("***********************************************************Calc of a CRC :"..crcD)
        end

        if kbinput == "yes" then
            print("********************You keyed in :"..kbinput)
        end
    until bool == false
   
end

main()

result

Re: Problem reading input

Strange ...
Maybe relative to the fact you have compiled your environnement for RDV4 whereas I have compiled for other models ?

This is the results I have :

[usb] pm3 --> script run lou2
[+] executing lua C:\ProxSpace-master\pm3\client\luascripts/lou2.lua
[+] args ''
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > crc
***********************************************************Calc of a CRC :31818
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > yes
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > yes
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > crc
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > crc
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :

Re: Problem reading input

that should not affect the lua part in regards to the utils.lua.

try doing some print  of the variables you are using.

Re: Problem reading input

New code with some more prints 

local utils = require('utils')

local function main()
    local crcD
    local bool = true
    local kbinput

    repeat
        kbinput = utils.input("Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :")
		print("Lenght of input keyed in : "..string.len(kbinput))
		print("Last char of the input : "..string.sub(kbinput,-1).."("..string.byte(string.sub(kbinput,-1))..")")
        if kbinput == "crc" then
            crcD = utils.SwapEndianness(core.reveng_runmodel("CRC-16/ARC", "A00000000000000F", false, '0'),16)
            print("***********************************************************Calc of a CRC :"..crcD)
        end
        if kbinput == "yes" then
            print("********************You keyed in :"..kbinput)
        end
    until bool == false
   
end

main()

Result is :

[usb] pm3 --> script run lou2
[+] executing lua C:\ProxSpace-master\pm3\client\luascripts/lou2.lua
[+] args ''
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > yes
Lenght of input keyed in : 3
Last char of the input : s(115)
********************You keyed in :yes
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > crc
Lenght of input keyed in : 3
Last char of the input : c(99)
***********************************************************Calc of a CRC :31818
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :
 > yes
Lenght of input keyed in : 4
(13) char of the input :
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :

Notice (13) char of the input : : it should have outputed (13) at the end of the line.
Unfortunately, (13) is a carriage return thus the output start at the beginning of the current line, and then scratches the beginning of the line.

Re: Problem reading input

Just had a quick play and got the same results as loupetre (windows 10)

I split the code a little

--            crcD = utils.SwapEndianness(core.reveng_runmodel("CRC-16/ARC", "A00000000000000F", false, '0'),16)
            data1 = core.reveng_runmodel("CRC-16/ARC", "A00000000000000F", false, '0');
            print (" data len "..string.len(data1).."["..data1.."]")
            crcD = utils.SwapEndianness(data1,16)

and found it happens when core.reveng_runmodel line is run.
If i dont run that, the swapendianness call works and no issue happens.

Its almost as if the function changes an EOL from LF to CR & LF.

Re: Problem reading input

Verifed the bug,  tried it in Proxspace 3.2,   same error.

io.read suddenly goes to add newline after the call to reveng_runmodel...

Re: Problem reading input

I am on your repo RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3, not on Proxmark/proxmark3.

You 've merged on which one ?

Re: Problem reading input

Well done, it works like a charm smile

[usb] pm3 --> script run lou2

Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :

Lenght of input keyed in : 3
Last char of the input : s(115)
********************You keyed in :yes
Enter 'yes' or 'crc' :

Lenght of input keyed in : 3
Last char of the input : c(99)
***********************************************************Calc of a CRC :31818

Thank you very much, it will be easier to handle keyboard inputs for me now !
