Input formats
The following table shows an example of input in its ASCII code representation (binary text stream) as viewed through the hex editor, and in its character text representation as viewed through the character editor. Each four-character grouping of binary text in the hex view represents one character in the character view.
Input (0x41424344) | Editor View | Value |
---|---|---|
ASCII code representation (binary text stream) | Hex | 0x41424344 |
Character | "ABCD" |
Examples
- STREAMTOHEXTEXT (0x41424344)
Returns the evaluated value of the input (ASCII) binary text stream 0x41424344 as the output (ASCII) binary text stream 0x3431343234333434 as viewed in the hex editor. (The character view of the input is "ABCD". The character view of the output is "41424344".)
- STREAMTOHEXTEXT (0x0D0A00)
Returns the evaluated value of the input binary text stream 0x0D0A00 as the output 0x304430413030 as viewed in the hex editor. (The character view of the input is "<CR><LF><NULL>". The character view of the output is "0D0A00".)
