Calculate Torrent Hash from file.

Calculate Torrent Hash from file.

Code:

---

File file = new File("/file.torrent");
MessageDigest sha1 = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");
InputStream input = null;

try {
    input = new FileInputStream(file);
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    while (!builder.toString().endsWith("4:info")) {
        builder.append((char) input.read()); // It's ASCII anyway.
    }
    ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    for (int data; (data = input.read()) > -1; output.write(data));
    sha1.update(output.toByteArray(), 0, output.size() - 1);
} finally {
    if (input != null) try { input.close(); } catch (IOException ignore) {}
}

byte[] hash = sha1.digest(); // Here's your hash. Do your thing with it.

can someone help porting it to vb6!

Is that all of it? no references, no other declarations??

yes that looks all of it!!

Looks like .Net code. I'll ask a moderator to move it to the proper section of the forums

It is Java. The OP is asking for a VB6 translation.
