How to use parse_files for filling the values of the keys in the dictionary about asn1tools HOT 12 CLOSED

Sorry, but transforming one dictionary to another is out of scope of this project.

from asn1tools.

So for encoding or decoding we have to pass some integer or string value to dictionaries which we create right,how it is done

from asn1tools.

You have to be more specific. It's impossible to understand what you want to achieve.

Parse_files function will create a dictionary which will have members ,and type of members may be string or integer etc ,Now with respect to my understanding for encoding or decoding to happen we give the members with value such as 1,2 etc which is integer datatype,So my question was that is there way to give values to the members

I still don't understand what you want to achieve, sorry.

How can we assign values to the members of the dictionary which your module is creating.

from asn1tools.

Can the value for the members be assigned through the program itself.

from asn1tools.

import asn1tools
foo = asn1tools.compile_files('tests/files/foo.asn')
encoded = foo.encode('Question', {'id': 1, 'question': 'Is 1+1=3?'})
encoded
bytearray(b'0\x0e\x02\x01\x01\x16\x09Is 1+1=3?')
foo.decode('Question', encoded)
{'id': 1, 'question': 'Is 1+1=3?'}

Now it looks OK since there are only two members inside Question schema but consider a scenario where i need to assign value for member3 with value 4 which is under schema of schema of schema.Then to encode you need to do something like this

encoded = foo.encode('Random', {'member1': {member2:{member3:4}}})

Is there a way where you give value for member3=4 and it itself creates the dictionary of dictionaries format for encoding based on hierarchy got from asn1tools.parse_files('tests/files/foo.asn')

from asn1tools.

No, there is no support in asn1tools for using the dictionary created by parse_files() to generate dictionaries with data to encode with foo.encode(). Why do you need that?

from asn1tools.

Ok currently I have to handle schema whose members may be again schemas which might extrend upto n levels,Now my task is to create a dictionary of dictionaries for any schema,and value for its members i will fill through an excel sheet, and then later use that dictionary for encoding .I was confused whether I can utilize your asn1tools.parse_files('tests/files/foo.asn') which is returning a dictionary showing the hierarchy of parent dictionary and its child members, and then utilize that hierarchy to fill the values to create the dictionary needed for encoding.

Ok, as that functionality is not supported I suggest closing this issue.
