AsHex

syntax

AsHex(a)

definition

AsHex(a) results in a string data-item with the hexadecimal representation of data item a.

applies to

since version 7.408: data item with uint4, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, or string value-type
- for integers, the resulting strings always have a size based on the number of bits in the argument divided by 4
- for strings, the resulting string size is always the input size in bytes times 2.
since version 5.40: data item with uint32 or string value type

example

attribute<uint8>  A8     (ADomain) : [ 0, 1, 11, 100, 255];
attribute<uint32> A32    (ADomain) := uint32(A8);

attribute<string> AsHexA (ADomain) := asHex(A32);
attribute<string> AsHexB (ADomain) := asHex(A8);

A8	AsHexA (prior to 7.408)	AsHexA (since 7.408)	AsHexB (since 7.408)
0	‘0’	‘00000000’	‘00’
1	‘1’	‘00000001’	‘01’
11	‘B’	‘0000000B’	‘0B’
100	‘64’	‘00000064’	‘64’
255	‘FFFFFFFF’	‘FFFFFFFF’	‘FF’
