Added the ability of from_file to parse packet array fields #49

Closed ehsteve closed 1 year ago

ehsteve commented 1 year ago

Some things that still need to be done.

Add the ability to define variable length arrays
FixedLength and VariableLength need to check if they contain fields which are not compatible with their type.

Addresses issue #48.

I wanted to get something in quickly without solving the entire problem because I have a pull request that relies on this functionality only for FixedLength. See this PR.

I'll admit that some of the string parsing code is not very elegant. I try to stay away from regex but I imagine that it could parse things more easily at the expense of readability.

Looks good to me
