Hi AutoIt programmers, excuse me for bothering you with multiple topics.

In AutoIt we can use Number() function to convert Hex string to number but it's output is different of C# output & and i wanna make it's output like AutoIt code.

For e.g I use this in AutoIt:
Local $dBinary = Binary("Hello") ; Create binary data from a string. Local $dExtract = Number(BinaryMid($dBinary, 1, 5)) ConsoleWrite($dExtract & @CRLF) And i use this for C#:
using System; using System.Text; //NameSpace Is Use of Project Name namespace TEST { class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { //declaring a variable and assigning hex value string dd = ToHex("Hello", Encoding.ASCII); decimal d = Int64.Parse(dd, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); Console.WriteLine("Result: " + d); //hit ENTER to exit Console.ReadLine(); } public static string ToHex(string sInput, Encoding oEncoding, bool b0x_Prefix = false) { byte[] a_binaryOutput = oEncoding.GetBytes(sInput); string sOutput = BitConverter.ToString(a_binaryOutput).Replace("-", ""); if (b0x_Prefix == false) { return sOutput; } else { return "0x" + sOutput; } } } }
I say once again that excuse me for creating new topic, in fact i'm making a library for GAuthOTP from a topic in AutoIt.

For some reason, I can't convert to Hex a Decimal color that has been calculated.
For example, this works:
Local $iColor = 3310546 ConsoleWrite("$iColor (dec): " & $iColor & ", $iColor (hex): " & Hex($iColor, 6) & @CRLF) giving the expected output:
$iColor (dec): 3310546, $iColor (hex): 3283D2
But if I want to take an average of several colors, I have a problem.  For example this doesn't work:
$iColor = (3310546 + 3310546) / 2 ConsoleWrite("$iColor (dec): " & $iColor & ", $iColor (hex): " & Hex($iColor, 6) & @CRLF) giving the wrong output:
$iColor (dec): 3310546, $iColor (hex): 000000
I observe this behavior after any processing of a decimal color.
Is this a bug?

Hey, all.  
I've been looking for a way to change cursor colour but not the cursor itself. I've been looking for a couple hours now and can't find anything.  I also don't even know where to start, if anyone has any tips or examples please comment them.
Thanks

Hi lads,

I'm trying to figure out a method to translate one or multiple USHORT values into one large bitfield and i am slowly getting a headache figuring out an effective way to perform this.

In general
The bitfield tells my routine which columns entities are *not* present in a record in the database structure i am reading (The so-called NULL values).
This also means that the byte-block beloging to that field, is not present within that file. This is a very simple form of low-level database compression technique.
I have several different database files, and they contain different amounts of columns with various mixed data-type forms.

The logic of the bit-range is that for each group of columns, one bitfield is stuffed into a USHORT, once the boundaries of the lower logic are reached, the bitfield continues in a next set of a USHORT value.
The USHORT blocks are stored in low to high order order inside the file and have to be swapped to get the correct binary representation.

Below snippet displays the details of the structure, starting with the (in this case) three USHORT bitfields.
The next range of figures is the binary representation of these bitfields *when* shifted (i have done this all manually) and combined in the proper order.
Some of the bitranges are between parentheses: when a column represents a char range, the database structure has two types of bit definitions:odd (01) for numeric fields and even (10) for char fields.

So figuring out which field is or isn´t present without necessarily knowing it is a char/type or numeric i am using a BitAND() construction with bit pairs of "11" which are in the order of 0x03, 0x0c, 0x30, 0xc0, 0x300, 0xc00, etc.
Regardless of the field type, i would get in that case always a difference if this field is marked as "nul"
My issue
I do know my way around reading 16-bit binaries and getting past the "no-consecutive 32-bit datablocks" issue when using WINAPI_ReadFile() but regarding how to transform multiple USHORT values into one large bitfield using bitshifting methods: I could use some crash course here since depending on the column number i have to construct either a USHORT, ULONG or even a 64/bit hex value...
I know WINAPI_ReadFile() performs the endian correction for the USHORT value, but when i have multiple of these pairs, i need to perform some multiplications (with risk of crashing the program by exceeding  a variable's type value limitation) to add these numbers up and i have the feeling that using bitshifting, works faster and more effective but....
What is the most effective way to combine these USHORT values into one ULONG/SYSTEMLong value?
 
 

Hi all:
I nedd to convert a word hex number to an integer 16
Ex: 0xFFE9 convert to -23
I would appreciate if they had any idea how I can get it
