Binary()

[MSLx Fanboy]

I'm getting lost with this new Binary function already

$Var1 = Binary(10)
 MsgBox(0, "test1", $Var1)
 $Var2 = String($Var1)
 MsgBox(0, "test2", $Var2)

I would think that it would return

1010

and

10

Instead it returns '°«9' and 0xB0AB3900

Actually, what is above is returned after using ClipPut functions...Even if it is broken or not, it shouldn't change the value of the variable...Even commenting them changes it...

$Var1 = Binary(10)
;ClipPut($Var1)   ;feel free to uncomment this command
 MsgBox(0, "test1", $Var1)
 $Var2 = String($Var1)
;ClipPut($Var2) ;feel free to uncomment this command
 MsgBox(0, "test2", $Var2)

I should have been more clear in the documentation Binary is changing the type from string to binary.

it usely has no conversion.

I test it carefully with string and I didn't pay attention to numbers. I will wait more post and improve what binary type conversion.

String when converting a binary object can return something like an hex representation which can go back to binary with a binary()

In your case the string representation of 10 is "10" so the binary should have been 0x3130. I understand it is not the case so I will try to have a coherent handling.

Perhaps I need to change the name of the function too to avoid confusion.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you. I still don't understand how using Clip* functions affected the value of the variables though...

They will work OK in 3.1.1.77

in the current beta the binary(number) get trouble only binary(string) is working.
