GetStringLockCount(s as string) as integer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| global method, Types | Plugin version: 2.6 | So, 1. Sep 2002 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hexstring(input as string, hexlen as integer, linelen as integer, linestart as string, lineend as string, spacer as string,filler as string) as string | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| global method, Types | Plugin version: 2.6 | Mi, 28. Aug 2002 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Works. | Windows: Works. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Function:
Creates a hexadecimal string. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Example:
s=Hexstring(sonstwasstring,2,10,"<",">"+chr(13)+chr(10),"","0") | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Notes:
Fails if input="" or hexlen<1 or linelen<1 or on low memory conditions. If filler is "", filler is set to "0". Memory requirement is around 5 times the memory for input. or exactly: mem=20+linelen*hexlen*(1+len(filler))+2*((linelen*hexlen*len(filler)+len(lineend)+len(linestart))*(len(input)*2/hexlen)) (I hope this function is correct ;-) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
