get numbers out of a udp string

[dan184]

I am using the NI udp receiver.  I receive a signal from a C/C++ program.  I get a bunch of boxes and garbage characters on the screen.  I am trying to get the folllowing unsigned integers out of it: 

32 bit/ 8 bit/ 8 bit/ 8 bit/ 8 bit/ 32 bit

I know that is what the person sent - I looked at the signal with the packet sniffer ethereal.  How do I get my information out of the signal?

There are many ways to do this, and most involve typecasting or unflattening of some sort. A very easy way with mixed data types such as this would be to typecast it to a cluster containing the right data types in the right order. See attached.

There are many other ways to do this. 🙂

(Notice also that I set the string to HEX display so it is more readable. In normal display, you only see garbage characters)
