EddieBoy 1 Posted September 18, 2011 I'm trying to calculate the size of a data block then write that value to a file in binary format. But binary() isn't behaving as I would expect and seems to be returning an 8 byte value. Here's a simplified example. Any advice on why this happens would be appreciated $Width = 0x100 $Height = 0x100 $BPP= 0x18 $Image_Data_Size =int($Width)*int($Height)*(int($BPP/8)) ConsoleWrite($Image_Data_Size & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite(Binary($Image_Data_Size) & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite(Binary(196608)& @CRLF) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProgAndy 88 Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) AutoIt changes the variable type automatically to int64 if is required. Maybe AutoIt thinks so in your case. Edit: Yes this is the cause.

EddieBoy 1 Posted September 18, 2011 That helps thanks- drove myself crazy trying to figure out what was going on Is there something I can change in the code to stop that from happening or should I fix it with something like BinaryMid($num,1,4)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
