Re: Simpl + String Building

 

I had to try it to find out . . . Too easy. ?Of course it didn¡¯t work . . .

Since you have converted the input to a long_integer, you already have the 4 bytes. ??

long_integer ? li_number;

integer ? byte1, byte2, byte3, byte4; ? ??
??
? ? byte1 = li_number & 255; ?// extract the lowest byte
? ? byte2 = (li_number}}8) & 255; //shift the number to the right by 8 bits (1 byte) and extract the next lowest byte
? ? byte3 = (li_number}}16) & 255; //etc.
? ? byte4 = (li_number}}24) & 255; //etc.
??
? ? makestring(Output$,"ABC\\x00\\x00\\x%02X\\x%02X\\x%02X\\x%02X\r",byte4, byte3, byte2, byte1);
?

So, have you tried dumping the long integer straight into makestring using %lx or maybe %4lx?
something like ??

MakeString(Output$, "ABC\x00\x00%4lx\x0D", number);

Thank you for reply, Dustin...

The string coming in "10B0B" was already the hex equivalent of my converted long integer.? So it came in 68363 as a string, I converted it to a LONG INTEGER and then took the value of the LONG INTEGER and converted it to HEX using LToHex.

which gave me 10B0B.

So, I then made the string...

Byte3 = MID(CodeInHex, 1, 1);
Byte2 = MID(CodeInHex, 2, 2);
Byte1 = MID(CodeInHex, 4, 2);

MakeString(Output$, "ABC\x00\x00\\x0%1s\\x%2s\\x%2s\x0D", Byte3, Byte2, Byte1);

The Output$ string, when brought into SIMPL windows, shows EXACTLY what I need, but, when I try and send that code out of a PUSH statement it doesn't format it correctly.

PUSH Press
{?? ?
?String rString[50];?rString = TestModule.SendToDest(Output$);
?Print("Server Response = %s\n",rString);
?Server_Response = rString;
}
