a casual look saw a _lot_ of bits in a double so i thought ' how many 7 bit ascii chars could be encoded'?
allowing short messages to be sent like this: # encode 9 chars into 64bit container str="WakeuNnow" n= 0 for c in str: n = n | (ord(c) & 0x7f) n = n << 7 print(bin(n)) 0b1010111110000111010111100101101010111100001001110110111111101110000000 nsav = n # get the 9 chars back n = nsav l = len(str) for byt in range(l+1): c=n&0x7f cl[l-byt] = chr(c) n=n>>7 # display the chars retrieved cl ['W', 'a', 'k', 'e', 'U', 'p', 'N', 'o', 'w', '\x00'] just for s&g tomp _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
