Binary to readable ASCII text format?

[Decipher]

Peers: (binary model), the peers value may be a string consisting of multiples of 6 bytes. First 4 bytes are the IP address and last 2 bytes are the port number. All in network (big endian) notation. The list of peers is length 50 by default. How can I convert the attached?

I've tried BinaryToString with no luck. Thanks in advance.

Lookup DllStructCreate in help. Read carefully and come back if you don't succeed.

Would you please give me an example. I read the documentation for the DllStructCreate function but its confusing to me on how I can use it to change this: uïiƒ¡ã into 127.0.0.1:80

What type would I be using, etc.

you could create a struct with "char"´s with the lenght of your "text" and fill the struct with the text

create a struct with "bytes" at the same position

then read these "bytes" one by one and you get the conversion....

[Decipher]

What type would I specify because I don't think its integers?

So I read the bytes one by one and the read information is ASCII?

I'm still completely lost as to how this actually works.

I've tried:

$a = DllStructCreate(FileRead(@DesktopDir & "Peers.txt"))
For $i = 1 To 10
MsgBox(0,"",DllStructGetData($a, $i))
Next

Dosen't work. Is it possible that the character's ASCII code is what I'm after? I could code that but I wouldn't have a way to verify that it is correct.
