new Binary stuff

[piccaso]

i'm a bit stuck here:

$test = Binary("Hello")
ConsoleWrite($test & @LF) ; Prints 0x48656C6C6F
ConsoleWrite(String($test) & @LF) ; Prints 0x48656C6C6F too, why ?

$struct = DllStructCreate("byte Buff[5]")
$struct.Buff = $test
ConsoleWrite($struct.Buff & @LF) ; ok 0x48656C6C6F again...
$struct2 = DllStructCreate("char zBuff[6]",DllStructGetPtr($struct))
ConsoleWrite($struct2.zBuff & @LF) ; Prints Hello" but why "
ConsoleWrite(StringLeft($struct2.zBuff,BinaryLen($test)) & @LF) ; Finally prints Hello :)

any idea how to convert a Binary back into a string?

maybe a bit easier than i did it

; Test convert Binary to String
#include <string.au3>

$HexString = _StringToHex ("This is a test, it is only a test...")
ConsoleWrite("Hex string:  " & $HexString & @LF)

$String = _HexToString ($HexString)
ConsoleWrite("Text string:  " & $String & @LF)

Dog ate your help file...?

i dont get it.

how does that work with Binary()

Bad doggy, no bones for you in the next 500 decades...

Sorry, missed a step...

#include <string.au3>

$Bin = Binary ("Hello")
ConsoleWrite("$Bin = " & $Bin & @LF)
$Hex = Hex($Bin)
ConsoleWrite("$Hex = " & $Hex & @LF)
$Text = _HexToString($Hex)
ConsoleWrite("$Text = " & $Text & @LF)

Doggy wants his bone!

Doggy died.

Just upgraded to AutoIt v3.2.4.4 and now I'm stuck too! The CoProc functions do not seem to work with 3.2.4.4. Obviously, BinaryString has to be changed to Binary, but the String function doesn't seem to work as expected as noted in this thread.

I would hope we don't have to use _HexToString on the received parameter...(I can't get that to work either).

Is anyone else experiencing this problem with 3.2.4.4?

Thanks,

Paul
