Loading a binary string How do i do it?

Hi,
I have saved a string as binary data so that there are no spaces between each letter. I am trying to work out how to load it but the book I have is awful. I don't want to restrict the length of the data that can be read in. Is there any way to get the size of the incoming file in bytes and then create a char buffer big enough to then copy the loaded data into?
Any help would be much appreciate but please be really clear and step by step as this area is completely new to me.
Many thanks
Dylan

1. All strings are saved as binary data, so you haven't done anything special.
2. You didn't say what the actual encoding scheme is that you used. But in general, the answer to your question is "no". The reason is that many encodings require a variable length for each character that depends on the actual character encoded.

How should load sensitive connection strings

ok so when i need to connect a swf to some sort of data
source on the server be it XML, a .NET DLL, a CFC or what ever so
that i can load data from a database or what ever, everyone is
always saying that i shouldn't hard code the connection string into
my actionscript as anyone can get it and do malicious things with
it.
So how should i load the connection string into flash. if i
put them on the server in an XML file or somthing like that then i
still need to put a connection string into the actionscript in
order to load in my main connection strings into the actionscript.
Basically i need to know how to load an external string into
a swf without anyone else being able to get hold of that string for
them selves.
i realy need help with this because i am developing an app
for somone and i need it to connect to a database and i need it to
be secure. i have everything sorted except making the connection
string to the database unstealable.

Hi
1. The "GLOBAL.ASA" in ASP3 become "GLOBAL.ASAX" on ASP.Net and it is not the equivalent of web.config. ASP3 do not have an equivalent as this is dynamic tech and By default there is no precompile/compile action as in Dot.Net
2. You can just move a text file which include the connection string outside the site's folder as we used to do 15 years ago when we used Microsoft Access as a database (When we need small database, before the SQL EXPRESS). This way there is no direct
URL to get to file!
* There are several option of restrict the use of a file in ASP3 and in the IIS configuration. check if this is what you want (restrict the use of a specific file/folder)
3. robot.txt is only for searching engine which keep "nice behavior". it do not stop any application including search engine from getting the file.
Have fun :-)

How can I convert a U32 array into binary string?

Hi
I would like to find an efficient way to convert an array of 8192 U32 into a single binary string!!!
the solution below last 550 ms on an RT target to convert 8192 U32.
The same code running on Labview (not RT) last 100ms. I don't understand why there is such a difference.
I've tryed to replace the inner loop and convert by a format string whith U32 on entry and %032b as parameter but it lasted same time.
Thanks a lot

Your picture of your code didn't come through. You can't link to a picture that's on your computer, as a server on the internet cannot access your computer to display the picture for others to see. You have to upload the picture as an attachment. Then, if you want to actually display the picture in the message you have to edit your post, insert a picture, and when it asks for the URL you enter the URL of the picture. You can get the URL when viewing the message, as the link is within the message itself.
As for your question, can you just use the TypeCast function?

How to convert binary string to ascii

Hi,
See i have a string like this,
String str = "10011100110001011001110011000101";
Now i want to find exact ascii value of the binary string.
Thanks in advance.

First want to convert these bits to corresponding
characters and then have to find ascii of the same.... corresponding to what? I think converting these "bits" to the corresponding chars is the whole story. But what about the original format?
Guessing mode on ... does this help?
String input = "...";
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0;i < input.length();i += 8) {
result.append((char) Integer.parseInt(input.substring(i, i + 8), 2));
System.out.println(result);

Evaluating binary strings with "Don't care" conditions

I frequently have to evaluate binary strings or register values for particular bits. Does anyone have a better way? And if not, perhaps this is a suggestion for NI.
To this point I've used two methods:
1. I turn the data into an actual string in my CVI code and inject X's in the necessary positions. I then perform a string evaluation for equivalence, the string now consisting of '1's '0's and 'x's.
2. Bring the data into the teststep and applying an expression to the data source, masking the appropriate bits. Then evaluate as a numeric with a value that assumes the offended bits "zeroness" or "oneness" depending on how I've implemented.
The first was one requires specialized code, but allows for a little more visibility (in the code at least) of which bits are designated as DCs. But translating a multiple byte and variable length of amount of information into a string is cumbersome. Sure the code is reusable, but I'm not convinced the translation is necessary or best.
The second buries the mask in a window that is, seemingly, infrequently used. I've had colleagues work on a project behind me trying to figure out where the value was being manipulated because I've applied a mask via the source. My original explanation of "ninjas" wasn't well taken...
It seems like it would be ideal for the limits window to allow the use of "X"s when defining a "binary" type comparison so that the mask is clearly defined in the limit itself, and the data as it's passed to and from teststand remains untouched. Also, if this were to be implemented I would hope the property loader would support it.
Am I missing a much easier way to do this? Anyone have a better way?
Thanks in advance!
Colt.
P.S. Why isn't "NI" and "CVI" built into the spell checker?

So in that first case where I am using CVI to "insert" I am building a string type vector that contains ASCII '1's '0's and 'x's. Where the Xs are in the binary position for what I am considering as "don't care".
So say for instance I was converting a piece of data that was 0xEB, with bit 0 being considered a DC for evaluation, I would build a string like "1110 101X" . This string is what I would pass back to teststand. In teststand I would then perform an equivalence test between the two strings.
For the second question about an implementation for the limit, say I open the test step, click on "Edit Limits" then from the drop down in the bottom right I select "Binary". I could then compose a limit in a similar form as described above. Where the limit box could contain something like "0b1110101X". But as for the data I hand to teststand, it would still be just a scalar value, with no masks applied. In the code, or in teststand.
Sorry if I'm not making any sense! I hardly ever do...

Conversion of Decimal to Binary String

Hello Labview People:
I'm rather new to Labview, so this may be a simple-minded question . . .
I would like to take a numeric control and have the decimal input
converted to a binary string of 8 bits. So, for example, if I were to
put in the number '127', I would get out (on an indicator) the string:
01111111
The number '128' would show on the indicator as:
10000000
It seems to me that this should be simple, but somehow I cannot figure
out how to do it. Must an array be built bit by bit to accomplish this?
(I'm afraid I don't yet know how to build arrays.)
Thanks in advance for any help you provide!

Before you buy.

Or, you can go under the numeric function, and look for conversions, get
decimal to byte array conversion.
Then what you need to do is to get an array selection vi, and index to zero.
I don't remember the exact name of the VI's because I don't have LabView
here with me.
Perhaps this complicates things

Converting a binary string to a number...

Hi guys,
I'm trying to convert a binary string into a decimal integer. I'm not sure if LabVIEW has a VI that does that. I haven't found one yet. Basically, say I have the string '0101'. I want to convert that to the value '5'. Or say I'm using hex, I want '10101111' to be converted to 'AF'. So that's my dilemma. I'm hoping I'm not going to have to make my own VI. Thanks a lot!
-Mike

LabVIEW has exactly what you want even if it can be hard to find it.
To convert a binary text string like "0101" to a decimal value can easily be done using the Scan Value function found under the String/Number conversion section. If you provide the format %b to it (not mentioned in the manual) you will get the decimal value of your binary string.
Also, on your front panel you can change the format of your numerical indicators by right clicking on it and selecting Format & Precision. If you have a numerical indicator you can set it do display the numbers in e.g. hexadecimal form.
However, if you want to convert a number to a hexadecimal text string you can use the Number to Hexadecimal String function also found under the String/Number conversion section.
I
attached a simple example, Conversions.vi, that shows how it works. I hope this helps. /Mikael

Decoding binary strings from 10 bit A/D converter

Hi all,
I'm working on a project for school that requires me to take data from an A/D converter ( the A/D is on a Motorola HCS12 microcontroller) and send it to a PC running LABVIEW to decode the binary string into a numerical value.  The value will be plugged into an equation. I planned on using the serial port on the PC for the comm port.  Are there any examples available or any advice to get me started in the right direction.
While I have programmed with LABVIEW in the past (academically) I am not proficient. And this type of interfacing I have not done before, only GPIB.
The A/D is 10 bit.  How quick LABVIEW decodes the binary string and returns a value is not important.
If any more info. is needed let me know.

Be confident. That should not be a big problem, since you'll get the help of the LV community
The most difficult part will be to establish the communication with your micro-controler. But if you can do that with Windows hyperterminal, then you are nearly done ! There are examples of serial com in the examples shipped with LV.
The string to decimal conversion will not be a problem, whatever the string format : the conversion is done using functions also shipped with LV.
Hope to see you soon with more specific questions.

Store binary string

How can I save the following encrypted password to Oracle
database? What datatype should the field be defined? (varchar2?
long raw? etc.) I did try to insert it into a field of varchar2
type and got the error 'Input truncated to 87 character'.
The binary string is:
QqV”™&Q/pmW5/S†j$O+(u!Q6w–#/oy”N_F.0,=bŒ4Xrˆ& }]5%+
I've been looking up Oracle books and found nothing related to
this. Please give me some helps if you know.
Thanks.

I'd like to thank every one for the very helpful inputs. I just
found down that varchar2 type will work just fine. The problem
that I had earlier is SQLPlus - it does not recognize non-
printable characters (it's a 100% text editor!). However, I was
able to insert the string through ODBC. Again, thank you.

Scan arrays from binary string

I have TCP connection that is sending a great number of fixed size arrays that I need to convert. Is there a simpler way to do that than the one I have attached?
Attachments:
Scan from binary string.vi ‏16 KB

Sorry, I didn't write my question clear enough.
I know how to do TCP data transfer. I also know how to unflatten the binary string back to data, but I was hoping there was a clearer way to do it than the way I suggested. For scalar values one can make a cluster containing the data in the binary string and only one "unflatten from string" is needed.
However, if the binary string is composed of arrays (even though they are fixed in size) I need one unflatten string for each array. In my case I have many small arrays. The attached example with only three arrays was only to illustrate what I wanted to do.
I have now found a way using a cluster of clusters. I don't know if this is the ideal way of doing this, but it works, and when enabling "view cluster as icon" I can make the code much more compact and easier to read

Binary Strings

Im trying to follow this tutorial - http://www.ai-junkie.com/ga/intro/gat3.html
It represents the following values as binary strings e.g:-
1 = 0001
e.t.c
9 = 1001
* = 1100
I can have worked out how to convert integers to binary string and visa versa,
for(int i =0;i<10;i++){
            System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(i));
}however I cant convert chars to binary of visa versa
I have tried the folling buts its not working
System.out.println(Byte.parseByte("1010" , 2));Thanks in advance

In this tutorial, it is stated that

How can I convert "+" --> 1010
and
how can I convert 1010 --> "+"
{noformat}Well, you certainly didn't obtain "1010" by passing in a plus-sign to any method/Constructor of Integer, so I would suggest that you reverse whatever process you used to get 1010 in the first place.
A simple method would be to use a map:
Map<Character, String> toBinary = new HashMap<Character, String>();
Map<String, Character> fromBinary = new HashMap<Character, String>();
   toBinary.put('9', "1001"); fromBinary.put("1001", '9');
   toBinary.put('+', "1010"); fromBinary.put("1010", '+');
public String encode(char c) {
   return toBinary.get(c);
public char decode(String binary) {
   return fromBinary.get(binary);
}

I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

A family member gave our kids their old iphone with music already loaded for them. How do we add the music to our library? It won't transfer purchases from the phone and if I sync it, the music is erased. Can someone walk me through this?
