Working with 32 bit numbers

[VeeDub]

Hi,

I am trying to perform some bit operations on 32 bit addresses, but I cannot get it to work. The issue I think is that the BitXOR function requires values rather than strings.

If I try to supply a 32 bit number as a value directly:

$x = BitXOR(4c250e81,9be548aa)

Then I get a syntax error. But if I provide the values as strings, then I get a nonsense answer. At the moment the only way I can see to get around this is to convert the hexadecimal values to their integer equivalent - and then convert it back afterwards. Which I can do, but I wonder if I'm missing something really simple here.

Thanks

add '0x'

add '0x'

Thanks for that, I'm glad I asked.

Cheers,

Sorry, I haven't got this quite worked out, another question.

I don't understand why the following two examples produce different results:

$x = BitXOR(0x4c250e81,0x9be548aa)
MsgBox(0,"X",$x)

$X = -675264981

$z = "9be548aa"
$y = BinaryString($z)
$x = bitxor(0x4c250e81,$y)
MsgBox(0,"X",$x)

$X = 1277497016

Thanks

OK, I have figured this out, for the second example to work it needs to be as follows:

$z = "9be548aa"
$y = Dec($z)
$x = bitxor(0x4c250e81,$y)
MsgBox(0,"X",$x)

$X = -675264981

Basically the binarystring function doesn't work the way that I expected it too. This thread explains more.
