• A hash mark ( # ) will prepend a 0 to an octal number when used with the conversion
character o . If # is used with x or X , it will prepend 0x or 0X to a hexadecimal
number.
• A zero ( 0 ) will pad the field with zeros instead of with spaces.
•
Field width specification is a positive integer that defines the field width, in spaces, of the
converted argument. If the number of characters in the argument is smaller than the field
width, then the field is padded with spaces. If the argument has more characters than the
field width has spaces, then the field will expand to accommodate the argument.
GetNBits()
GetNBits (list or raw>, integer>,
integer>)
Return value
integer, list or raw.
Comments
Reads bit_count bits from bit_source starting at bit_offset . Will
return null if bit_offset + bit_count exceeds the number of bits in
bit_source . If bit_count is 32 or less, the result will be returned as an
integer. Otherwise, the result will be returned in a list format that is the same as the
input format.
GetNBits also sets up the bit data source and global bit offset used
by NextNBits and PeekNBits . Note that bits are indexed starting at bit 0.
Example
raw = 'FOFO'; # 1111000011110000 binary
result = GetNBits ( raw, 2, 4 );
Trace ( "result = ", result );
The output would be
result = C # The result is given in hexadecimal. The result
in binary is 1100.
In the call to GetNBits : starting at bit 2, reads 4 bits (1100), and returns the value
0xC.
Parameter Meaning Default Value Comments
bit_source list, raw, or
integer
Can be an integer value (4 bytes) or a list of inte-
gers that are interpreted as bytes.
bit_offset integer Index of bit to
start reading
from
bit_count integer Number of
bits to read
