What does AutoIT consider binary number?

[Trax]

I always thought a binary number was a string of zeros and ones like "01001100" but I must be missing something. Binary() and BinaryToString() don't convert it to what I consider a Binary. What does AutoIT consider to be a Binary number?

My ultimate goal is to convert a hex like BFA0D1 to a bit string like 010001101, Is there a function that will do that?

There are various functions on the forum to convert numbers to binary (base 2)
among others you can use _BaseToBase() by @czardas that allows you to convert from/to various bases bidirectionally
That function is included in his math10.au3 udf you can find here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/150224-udf-suite/

#include <math10.au3> ; <--- get this udf here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/150224-udf-suite/

ConsoleWrite(_BaseToBase("BFA0D1", 16, 2) & @CRLF) ; from base 16 to base 2
ConsoleWrite(_BaseToBase('101111111010000011010001', 2, 16) & @CRLF) ; from base 2 to base 16

A million thanks Chimp. Just what I was looking for.
