FT_BYT2HEX()
Convert byte to hexadecimal version of its binary value
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FT_BYT2HEX( cByte ) -> cHexValue
Arguments
<cByte> is the byte to convert.
Returns
Three-character string, consisting of two digits of hexadecimal
notation and letter 'h' to signify hex. Returns NIL if parameters are
faulty.
Description
Can be used to show results of bit manipulation, both before and after.
This function is presented to illustrate that bit-wise operations
are possible with Clipper code. For greater speed, write .C or
.ASM versions and use the Clipper Extend system.
Examples
These three code lines perform a bitwise AND on bytes with values of
CHR(20) and CHR(36), and deliver the result as a string in hexadecimal
format, using 'h' to signify hexadecimal.
? FT_BYT2HEX(CHR(20)) // byte1: '14h'
? FT_BYT2HEX(CHR(36)) // byte2: '24h'
? FT_BYT2HEX(FT_BYTEAND(CHR(20), CHR(36)))
// result: '04h'
For a demonstration of Clipper bit manipulations, compile and
link the program BITTEST.PRG in the Nanforum Toolkit source code.
