[SOLVED] StringToBinary, Hex, and 0x


Recommended Posts

To get a string of 1s and 0s you'd need to convert the information yourself, there's no built-in function to do it, although there are plenty of examples here in the forum.

The 0x in front of the number is to indicate that the string is a hex number and should be treated that way, otherwise it's just a string of numbers and/or letters.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Thanks :graduated:

Here's a conversion routine that I came up with that will display the different formats that the number can be displayed in. It includes a function to convert an integer to a string of 1s and 0s in binary.

$Value = 454823
$HexValue = Hex($Value)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $HexValue = ' & $HexValue & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
$BinaryValue = Binary($Value)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $BinaryValue = ' & $BinaryValue & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
$RealBinaryValue = _BinaryValue($Value)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $RealBinaryValue = ' & $RealBinaryValue & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
Func _BinaryValue($inValue)
     Local $OutValue = "", $sOutValue = ""
     ; find the bits that make up the incoming number
     While $inValue > 1
         $sOutValue &= Int(Mod($inValue, 2))
         $inValue = $inValue / 2
     WEnd
     ; reverses the string so it will display correctly
     For $I = StringLen($sOutValue) To 1 Step -1
         $OutValue &= StringMid($sOutValue, $I, 1)
     Next
     Return $OutValue
EndFunc ;==>_BinaryValue
