string to binary I think

[eyegeegeewhy]

I want to convert a string into what I think is binary , although I might be using the wrong terminology. Ive tried "binery" in Autoit but the output i want wants to look something like "01000100100010100101010" whist the results i get look more "0x68656C6C6F207468657265"

How do I make it so that it is just 0 and 1's

Regards Jordan

This function will show binary in raw form:

Hi

Thanks that looks good for numbers but is there a way for doing to same with text?

cheers

You want to convert text a number first? Use _StringToHex()

[Richard Robertson]

Text is represented in binary based on it's encoding. What encoding do you want? ASCII? Unicode? Something else?

i think the encoding i want is binary. I want it so that it only uses 0 & 1's

Binary isn't an encoding. Encoding means the representation of the character set in byte form. ASCII is a single byte character system, Unicode is a double byte character system. An example, 'A' = 65, 65 = 01000001.

Demo:

$sChar = Chr(0191)
ConsoleWrite("$sChar = " & $sChar & @LF)
$iAsc = Asc("¿")
ConsoleWrite("$iAsc = " & $iAsc & @LF)
$sHex = "0x" & Hex(191, 4)
ConsoleWrite("$sHex = " & $sHex & @LF)
$sbinHex = _HexToBinaryString($sHex)
ConsoleWrite("$sbinHex = " & $sbinHex & @LF)

Func _HexToBinaryString($Input)
    Local $avBinaries[16] = ["0000", "0001", "0010", "0011", "0100", "0101", "0110", _
        "0111", "1000", "1001", "1010", "1011", "1100", "1101", "1110", "1111"]
    Local $sRET = ""
    If StringLeft($Input, 2) = "0x" Then $Input = StringTrimLeft($Input, 2)
    For $n = 1 To StringLen($Input)
        $sRET &= $avBinaries[Number("0x" & StringMid($Input, $n, 1))]
    Next
    Return $sRET
EndFunc
