Thanks for the help.
Just on more stupid question. How do you properly convert a string
to an
integer, just get the asc value of each character, put them into a
memoryblock using byte and get the Integer value?
How would I convert "macs" to an integer?
you could use a 4 byte memoryblock and set the stringvalue to "macs"
dim m as new memoryblock(4)
m.littleendian = false
m.stringvalue(0,4) = "macs"
return m.long(0)
This lets you control the endianness which is important with 4 char
codes (OSTypes)
This is important if you are running on an Intel mac
