Read big characters

[candexis]

Well, I will like to know how to read and store a plain text, like this, "My name is Edwin Alxis Alvear Candelo and I am 22 yards old", and I also want to split this text in blocks of 24 character of the phrase. for example the text: “The quick brown fox jumped", I will like to read it and then split it like this:

TEXT Hexadecimal format

“The quic” 5468652071756663

“k brown ” 6B2062726F776E20

“fox jump” 666F78206A756D70

Thank you very much.

The user should enter the length of the phrase.

you can use strings just like arrays. So just copy out the parts you need into new arrays.

If unsigned long long is 64-bits (8 bytes), you should use that. I think this is what you are looking for. I haven't tested it yet, but it should give you a step in the right direction.

//string data = "The quick brown fox jump";
unsigned int tracker;
int length = ((sizeof)data)/8;
if((data % 8) != 0)
  length++;
unsigned long long groupedChars[length];
 
for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
  tracker = 1<<7; // ((1 << 7) >> 8) == 0
  while(tracker != 0)
  {
    groupedChars *= 0x0100; // shift one byte left
 
    if(data != "")
    {
      groupedChars[i] += data.substring(0,1); // may need to cast as ull
      data = data.erase(0,1);
    }
    tracker >> 1;
  }
}

  tracker = 1<<7; // ((1 << 7) >> 8) == 0
  while(tracker != 0)
  {
    ...
    tracker >> 1;
  }
 

Is a slightly odd way of doing

  for(tracker = 0; tracker<8; tracker++)
  {
    ...
  }
 

since you are not using tracker in any calculations

also you have missed a [i] out of the first line of the loop.

Well I need to save each block in a 64 bits variable (__int64), for example:

“The quick brown fox jumped", I will like to split it like this:

TEXT Hexadecimal format

“The quic” 5468652071756663

“k brown ” 6B2062726F776E20

“fox jump” 666F78206A756D70


So I must save in one variable Text1 = 5468652071756663, Text2 = 6B2062726F776E20 and Text3 = 666F78206A756D70 and so on, depending on the length of a text.

Thank you very much.
