Synalize It only recognizes first instance of element in custom grammar?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to use Synalize It to help me design a file format for a college project, but have the issue that it only recognizes the first instance of the data, and concludes the rest of the file is just padding. I have repeat settings set correctly (I think), but can't figure out the cause of the problem! Any help or suggestions are appreciated, Thanks!

Here's the contents of the grammar file:

",
and here's enough my test file, consisting of two identical "Bin" Elements, and padded with 0xFFs:
"B1012000200100000000534D4420636F6D706F6E656E74732E000000000053757266616365204D6F756E74205265736973746F72732C20657463000077777777B1012000200100000000534D4420636F6D706F6E656E74732E000000000053757266616365204D6F756E74205265736973746F72732C20657463000077777777FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

I know you're probably well-past the due date for your project, but I gave an answer in case somebody else had a similar question.

A couple of things:

The grammar tag shows start="id:197", which is the ID of the Bin structure. You want this to point at the BinContainer. Replace the preceding with start="id:213".

Your Padding piece has repeatmax="-1". I believe only structures support unlimited repeating. There are several things you could do here. Each of these has its own pros and cons:

• Change repeatmax. Either match the Bin structure (set max to 64) or set it at a very large value (e.g. 65535, the decimal version of 0xFFFF).
• Change length. Set repeatmax="1", length="remaining", and uncheck Must match (or remove the fixed value). This will repeat to the end of the size of Bin (64).
• Embed the binary value inside a structure and set repeatmax="64". If you choose this method, you can leave your Must match with the 77 value.
• Remove Padding. The parser will automatically skip to the end of the 64 bytes used by Bin.
