convert hex to binary?


Recommended Posts

I have been trying to find out how to convert hex to binary. I see Hex -> Dec and BinaryString -> Hex. I thought i could do it with BinaryString( hex ) but that didn't seem to work

Is their something simple that i am missing?...does anyone know how to do this?

anybody?

What i am doing is converting the hex flag values in a netstumbler export.

what i get is a combination of these hex values

Hex- Binary

0001 0000000000000001 ESS ("Infrastructure")

0002 0000000000000010 IBSS ("Ad-Hoc")

0004 0000000000000100 CF-Pollable

0008 0000000000001000 CF-Poll Request

0010 0000000000010000 Privacy ("WEP")

0020 0000000000100000 Short Preamble

0040 0000000001000000 PBCC

0080 0000000010000000 Channel Agility

It seems it would be easier to find out what the flag values stand for from the binary sting

Much easier to just test the bits right from the hex number:

$Input = "00A9"
$HexIn = Number("0x" & $Input)
Global $ESS = False, $IBSS = False, $CFPoll = False, $CFPollReq = False, $WEP = False, $ShortPreAm = False, $PBCC = False, $ChAgile = False
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x1) Then $ESS = True
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x2) Then $IBSS = True
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x4) Then $CFPoll = True
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x8) Then $CFPollReq = True
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x10) Then $WEP = True
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x20) Then $ShortPreAm = True
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x40) Then $PBCC = True
If BitAnd($HexIn, 0x80) Then $ChAgile = True

$Msg = "The following attributes are set:  " & $Input
If $HexIn Then
     If $ESS = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "ESS (Infrastructure)" 
     If $IBSS = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "IBSS (Ad hoc)"
     If $CFPoll = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "CF: Pollable"
     If $CFPollReq = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "CF: Poll Request"
     If $WEP = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "Privacy (WEP)"
     If $ShortPreAm = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "Short Preamble"
     If $PBCC = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "PBCC"
     If $ChAgile = True Then $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "Channel Agility"
Else
     $Msg &= @CRLF & @Tab & "None."
EndIF

MsgBox(64, "WiFi Modes", $Msg)

Thank you PsaltyDS that was exactly what i wanted :-)

not that anyone cares...but this is what it was for. (btw...this is a very rough draft...I was just trying to get something to work) this converts a txt export from netstumbler(with gps info) to a google earth kml file

#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Dim $gpsfile="gps.txt"
Dim $output="output.txt"
Dim $kml="output.kml"
Dim $array

;read netstubler txt into array
If Not _FileReadToArray($gpsfile, $gpsarray) Then
   MsgBox(4096,"Error", $gpsfile & " Not Found")
   Exit
EndIf
FileDelete ($output)
FileWrite ($output, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' & @CRLF _
& '<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">' & @CRLF _
