Parsing a midi file

[ben1996123]

I'm trying to make a program to open a midi file and save the hex data in a separate file. Can't figure it out though.

open a midi file and save the hex data in a separate file.

That has nothing to do with parsing.

Can't figure it out though.

What is "it"?

[ben1996123]

"it" = how to open a midi file and save the hex data in a text file...

Why not open it with a hex editor :O.

What type of midi file are you talking about?

An SMF file? (Standard MIDI File)

A Windows .mid file (a RIFF file containing the MIDI data plus resources)

Or?

PS "parsing" does make sense in the context of a RIFF file (you can talk about parsing the container structure of a RIFF, MPEG, etc file).
