BitXtoB

The BitXtoB function converts a hexadecimal string representation to a binary string representation.

Syntax

sBinary = BitBtoX( sHex )

sBinary is the binary string representation of a number.

sHex is a hexadecimal string representation of a number.

The binary and hexadecimal string representations both have the lowest-order bit at the right end of the string. The function does not care whether the string contains leading zeros for the highest order bits that are not set.

Example

The following script converts a binary string representation to a hexadecimal string representation..

sHex = "25"	-- pick a hexadecimal number
sBin = BitXtoB( sHex )	-- convert to binary representation
s = BitTrim( sBin )	-- trim off leading 0's
Printf( "'%s hex --> %s binary'", sHex, s )	-- prints 25 hex --> 100101 binary
