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?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness#Big-endian

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

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....

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.

      My own Binary() Function
      By Pickpocketz88
      Func _Binary($Int) ;Uncomment To Only Accept Integers #cs If IsInt($Int) = 0 Then Return 0 EndIf #ce If $Int < 0 Then ;Negative Numbers Will Break The Function Return 0000 EndIf Local $Integer = $Int Dim $Bin[1] = [Mod($Integer, 2)] Local $Counter = 1 Do $Integer = Floor($Integer / 2) _ArrayAdd($Bin, Mod($Integer, 2)) Until $Integer = 0 _ArrayReverse($Bin) ;Reverses The Array Because As Is, The Product Is Backwards ;A Loop To Remove Any Preceding 0's or Add 0's To Keep At Least Four Digits Select Case $Int <= 1 $Integer = "00" & _ArrayToString($Bin, "") Case $Int = 2 Or $Int = 3 $Integer = "0" & _ArrayToString($Bin, "") Case $Int >= 8 $Integer = StringTrimLeft(_ArrayToString($Bin, ""), 1) Case Else $Integer = _ArrayToString($Bin, "") EndSelect ;You Can Comment It Out Without Anything Else Having A Problem Return $Integer EndFunc I made this because I was writing something that I could use to play with Bitwise Operations and using Binary() by itself wasn't helping.
      It's very basic and will only take positive integers because that's all I needed but I'm sure with a little tweaking you could make it fit with negative and float types.
      It returns a string essentially but doesn't pose a problem when just changing numbers into binary digits.
      Example: If you were to do _Binary(5) you would get "0101" and _Binary(8) would return "1000"
      Between this last sentence and here I've changed this about a half dozen times to refine it a bit because without it checking if your number is < 0 it would break if a negative number was inserted and it wouldn't even have a problem if you put in Float Values, Regular or Special Characters but that negative value will do the trick lol.
      Anyway, I hope someone finds some use of this and thank you for reading!

      [SOLVED] AutoIt Binary funcs into C#

      Hi AutoIt Programmers, i wanna figure out how to use Binary functions in C# like:

      BinaryMid
      BinaryLen
      IsBinary and other basic ones were too ez, but those two were hard to noob like me.

      I appreciate for your helps/hints.

      Cow say
      By Gianni
      This "cow" seems funny to me,
          
      At this link (https://dodona.ugent.be/en/activities/1605325419/#) a brief rough description of what this script can do (sorry for the laziness, but that description may be fine).
      You can use the _CowSayWin() function to display a message formatted in a comic along with an ascii art figure in a standalone window,
      or
      you can use _String_CowSay() function to format a plain string in a comic along with an ascii art figure and have it returned in a string for your own purposes, you will probably use it in Consolewrite () or whatever ...
      The script makes use of the _StringSize() function written by @Melba23 (thanks Melba) of the StringSize.au3 udf that you can extract from the zip file located at this link: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/114034-stringsize-m23-new-version-16-aug-11/. You have to save that udf file in the same directory along with this script.
      It also makes use of the _WinSetClientSize() function written by @KaFu. (thanks kafu) This function is already built into the main script.
      I hope you have fun

      Is it possible to convert text to dec?
      By Divane
      Hello everyone. I need to convert any string to 3-digit decimal. It is possible to convert through online tools. Is there any way to do this in AutoIt.

      For Example ;
      8cdb3 = DECIMAL 056 099 100 098 051

      Is it possible the conversion above by AutoIt? Thanks.

      Zip27z conversion using AutoIt3
      By obiwanceleri
      Good evening! 
      I know this has been done to death in many programming languages and probably even in AutoIt. 
      But couldn't help myself and as a learning challenge I wrote "yet another converter" LOL
      I need your help to test it and show me "the error of my ways" but in a nutshell here's what it can do already (taken from my source file) :
      Converts all zip files recursively into a 7Zip file, with max compression REQUIRES AUTOIT Version 3.3.14.5 + Exact copy with attributes and folder structure + Extensive error checking, including files blocked by anti-virus (by file count) + Can stop process and restart later with the use of a log file + Can pause process (but in between compressing / extracting files) + Creates a .CSV file that can be used to check on compression ratios + Dynamic GUI that enables user to see console while 7zip is working + Gui can be stretched horizontally for long filenames + Up to 5 retries while transfering compressed files + Checks free space (at startup) to make sure you don't kill your OS LOL + Have converted 10,000+ files with no issues in file integrity. + Open to suggestions and program free to modify to your liking + Will eventually be fully modular and configurable (if there is interest for this) + Exit codes so you can have an idea where program went wrong (if it did) + Fully commented so users can tinker away. - Cannot save archive comments. - Not FULLY tested yet, do not use on .zip files that have no backups The program also has a very minimal GUI that can be stretched. Not a huge fan of million-button interfaces.
      I also assume some people running this program will have a 1024x768 monitor so the GUI is made accordingly.
      There is no way I am keeping this script for myself. If this is useful to anybody, feel free to use it and modify it. All I ask is you credit me (as I will credit those who contribute).
      Now here's the issues that are left to fix. Any help is greatly appreciated and I will add your name in the credits if you so wish.
      - For some reason while compression is under way, all my current explorer windows flicker; notably the cut-and-paste part. I can't seem to narrow it down. 
      - Also context menu is closed in explorer every time program compresses / extracts a new file
      - I've added support for retries if, for some reason, AutoIt can't move the converted file. This happened once after 5000-6000 conversions. Now that I've programmed the retries, the process is somewhat slower. It shouldn't affect speed though.  
      - After compressing 10,000+ files (Yes I have that many zip files! Think Mame) I've had a system meltdown. There's a leak somewhere. Am I supposed to close something and I'm not? I've added _IsPressed() lately so closing that .DLL is not the cause of this leak. 
      - Subtracting one array from another was a tricky thing to program (happens when user stops and restarts process), if you can think of a faster way I'm all in.
      Obviously if you find bugs or have suggestions, I'm all ears. 
      Changelog is included in the source file, including credits.
      PLEASE DON'T CONVERT ALL YOUR FILES YET. It's not fully tested (well I tested it but I need others to test too).
