Hi,
I've been attempting to write a serial program in python. I talk to
a custom designed bit of hardware that sends me back groups that are 2
bytes in length. When i recieve them using either pySerial or USPP i'm
not sure how python interprets them. Both of the bytes should be
interpreted as one integer. I store each of the two bytes in a python
array. Here is an example of the data as printed in a terminal.
['\x1dz', '\xa8<', '\x89{', '}O', 'r\xaf', '\x83\xcd', '\x81\xba',
'\x00\x02', '\x00\x00', '\x00\x00', '\x00\x00']
As you can see it either chooses to represent one byte in hex or one in
ascii or both in hex etc. I'm just not sure how to get this into an
integer format.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Ken 6 2464

Your data consists entirely of two-byte strings; don't get fooled by the way
Python represents them. To convert them you need struct.unpack() which
seems to be in high demand today: data = ['\x1dz', '\xa8<', '\x89{', '}O', 'r\xaf', '\x83\xcd',
'\x81\xba',
.... '\x00\x02', '\x00\x00', '\x00\x00', '\x00\x00'] print [struct.unpack(" h", s)[0] for s in data]
[7546, -22468, -30341, 32079, 29359, -31795, -32326, 2, 0, 0, 0]
Of course "h" is only one of the candidates for the format parameter. See http://docs.python.org/lib/module-struct.html for the complete list.

You want something like this: a = '\x1dz' (ord(a[0])<<8) + ord(a[1])
7546
Each of the two characters represents one byte of a 16-bit integer. It
doesn't matter if they are ascii or hex -- there are still exactly two
bytes in each of your strings.
The ord() function converts a character to its 8-bit ASCII code. The
<< operator shifts the first character 8 bits to the left. Note that
the byte order might need to be swapped, depending on the
implementation of your custom hardware. e.g. (ord(a[1])<<8) +
ord(a[0])

Look at array and/or struct modules/

Ahh, right. Batteries included! Thanks for the enlightenment. :)

I think that's the third time _today_ that question has been
answered. Where can we put that information such that you

Hi,
I'm working with Borland C++ Builder 6.2.
My project uses the std::string class. However, Borland in
its infinite wisdom has its own string class, AnsiString.
To make my life easier, I want to create a function,
preferably a conversion operator, to convert from a
std::string to an AnsiString. Please note that I don't
want to change either std::string or AnsiString.

corresponding date to increment if necessary. Any ideas on how to do
this would be greatly appreciated.

Heya guys,
It seems VB .net no longer supports the awesome ability of VB 6 to declare
something as a string and specify how long the string would be all in one
line:
Public myString as String * 32 'this would make it 32 characters long
Apparently the VB .net conversion is to do this:
Public myString as String
myString = new String(CChar(" "), 32) 'this creates a string with
32 blank spots in it

Hi,
My conversion seems from VB6 to VB.Net of an interface to an API seem to
have gone OK, but when I look at the output from the Debug.Print("Active
server is " & xmlServerActive) statement, xmlServerActive only contains one
character(the first one). I suspect it is being truncated. I am pretty much a
novice at this sort of thing so any advice would be welcome.
