Hi all,
I read data from a binary stream, so I get hex values as characters
(in a string) with escaped x, like "\x05\x88", instead of 0x05.
I am looking for a clean way to add these two values and turn them
into an integer, knowing that calling int() with base 16 throws an
invalid literal exception.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
Hi,
Check out the ord() function.
Example:
x = '\x34'
print ord(x)
output: 52
Also, if you, lets say read(4), and end up with `x = '\x05\x41\x24\x00'
you can use x[i] to address each character. So if you
print x[1]
output: 'A'
That should be enough to get you started in the right direction.
