How to convert decimal string array to binary string array

[Patrick0830]

Hi 

Does anyone know how to covert the arrays

16        00010110

80   to  10000000

0B        00001011

30        00110000

Regards

Yes, I (and many other readers of this Forum) do.

Why don't you try to figure it out for yourself?  There are Tutorials mentioned on the first page of this Forum.  Since you are dealing with Strings, examine the functions on the Strings Palette.

If your input string array is on hex display and one byte per element, you can try to do something like this (for each element):

If input array is on normal display you have to replace the Unflatten From String function with Hexadecimal String To Number

First of all, the left side is NOT a "decimal" string (characters 0..9), but a hexadecimal string (characters 0..F). Big difference! You have two nibbles, so you are dealing with a single byte, which can be represented as 8 binary characters (0..1). Is it never more that two hex characters on the left? Does the left side start out as a string array or is it derived from a U8 numeric array?

Is this a programming exercise or a process that occurs often and should be as fast as possible?

What have you tried? Once you have code for all 256 possible combinations, you could create a lookup table, right?

You could even just leave it as a U8 array and just change the display format, right?

One possibility?

Another interpretation (all strings are normal display).

It works well, thanks.

Thanks for your suggestion, I am a beginner and have spent over 2 days to figure out how to do it, so I posted here for help.
