Or even easier:
C_BLOB($vX_Data)
C_LONGINT($vL_Offset)
$vL_Offset:=0
LONGINT TO BLOB(78487500;$vX_Data;PC byte ordering;$vL_Offset)

Re: Write Hex Bytes
it sounds like you are over-thinking :)
you could just do
SET BLOB SIZE($bytes;4)
$bytes{0}:=78
$bytes{1}:=48
$bytes{2}:=75
$bytes{3}:=00
then BLOB TO DOCUMENT.
not need to go through hex.

Re: Write Hex Bytes
Hi Actually, I dont think this quite what I want, Unless Im Misunderstanding whats going on. If I have a number 78487500, this traslates to CC 9F AD 04. If I carry out your method, I get 8 bytes added to the initial string. However,If I read the hex number from a file on disc, it only takes up 4 bytes So CC is 1 byte, 9F is one byte, and so on This what I want To be able to add the Hex string to an existing string, so when I look at it on disc it only takes up 4 bytes To see this in action, look at the first 12 Bytes of any wav header Bytes 1-4 hold the Hex version of the Letters RIFF the next 4 Bytes hold the Hex version of the total length of the file-8 bytes Bytes 9-12 hold the Hex Version of the Letters WAVE and so on. What I want is, knowing the Total Length of the File in Hex, How do I arrange the string I;m going to write to file, so the Length is comtained in 4 bytes, Including padding bytes if necessary Sorry, long winded explanation thanks -pm On Thu, Feb 21, 2019 at 11:22 PM Peter Mew wrote: > Hi > Yes, Thats it almost exactly, I just need to convert to little endian, I > think I can manage that! > Thanks > -pm > > On Thu, Feb 21, 2019 at 10:45 PM Arnaud de Montard via 4D_Tech < > 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > >> >> > Le 21 févr. 2019 à 22:09, Peter Mew via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> >> a écrit : >> > >> > Hi >> > This is driving me mad, so I hope someone will point me in the right >> > direction. >> > I have a string of text. >> > I can find its length in Hex. now I want to write this length as 4 hex >> > bytes, into the string, with the aim of doing a text to blob, later on. >> > If I just add the Hex Number to the string it takes 8 bytes >> > (String+HexByte0+HexByte1+HexByte2+HexByte3) >> > If I convert the Hex Numbers to decimal and Do >> > String+char(DecByte0)+char(DecByte1) etc. >> > It takes up 4 Bytes but the Numbers written to the string are wrong. >> >> Something like that? >> >> $hello:="hello world!" >> $len:=Length($hello) >> $hex:=String($len;"&x") >> $hex:=Substring($hex;3) >> $string:=$hex+$hello+"x" >> C_BLOB($blb) >> $charset:="utf-8" >> CONVERT FROM TEXT($string;$charset;$blb) >> $string2:=Convert to text($blb;$charset) >> $offset:=4 >> $hex2:=Substring($string2;1;$offset) >> $len2:=hexaToDecimal ($hex2) >> $hello2:=Substring($string2;$offset+1;$len2) >> ASSERT($len2=$len) >> ASSERT($hex2=$hex) >> ASSERT($hello2=$hello) >> >> -- >> Arnaud de Montard >> >> >> >> ** >> 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) >> Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html >> Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech >> Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com >> ** > > ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

You run into this when passing the object to a new form using DIALOG. I use
two approaches when i need to do this:
1) put the form into a subform on the parent form. You can hide it until
needed. Make the subform object an object and you're all set. This way you
avoid needing DIALOG.
2) if you need DIALOG just wrap it in another object. I like to use 'data'.
So you can do this:
$obj:=New object("data";$oChildObject)
DIALOG("myForm";$obj)
It's simple to change the references on the form objects to
Form.data.whatever. I find it more robust not the least of which because it
allows you to have a null object without crashing your form.

Re: Write Hex Bytes
**IF** I understand what you are trying to do
you are halfway there in both cases, and is fairly easy.
I think what you want is:
String+Hex[[1]]+Hex[[2]]+...+Hex[[n]]
Example:
"This is my string of which I want the length"
(decimal) 44 characters
44 (dec) = 2C (hex)
final value:
"This is my string of which I want the length2C
so...
$Text:=
$Hex_Length_txt:=myutl_Convert_to_Hex(LENGTH($Text))
$Text:=$Text+$Hex_Length_txt
code for converting to hex:
PHP Execute("";"dechex";$Hex_Value;$Decimal_Value)
NOTES:
- this has a max decimal conversion value of +/- MAXLONGINT
- the hex value is returned in $Hex_Value
- "dechex" is the PHP library command
- first empty string is library path ("" = main/basic PHP library)

Write Hex Bytes
Hi This is driving me mad, so I hope someone will point me in the right direction. I have a string of text. I can find its length in Hex. now I want to write this length as 4 hex bytes, into the string, with the aim of doing a text to blob, later on. If I just add the Hex Number to the string it takes 8 bytes (String+HexByte0+HexByte1+HexByte2+HexByte3) If I convert the Hex Numbers to decimal and Do String+char(DecByte0)+char(DecByte1) etc. It takes up 4 Bytes but the Numbers written to the string are wrong.

RE: Object notation bug?
Just FYI for those following along,
I tried the following in my test method even though I wouldn't be able to in my
Form object scenario:
$oChildObject:=Null // $oParentObject.ChildInformation =

I am unable to do $oChildObject:=null in my actual situation because I am
passing that object into a Dialog so in my situation $oParentObject is actually
the Form object, I don't have the local variable for $oChildObject on the form.
So is there another command to clear both references without having loop over
all properties in the child and remove them individually?

Hi,
That’s not a bug. That’s normal.
$oChildObject:=New object create a reference to a object store in $oChildObject
OB SET($oParentObject;"ChildInformation";New object) push another reference
into the $oParentObject but the old reference still exist because $oChildObject
isn’t cleared.
you try : $oParentObject.ChildInformation:=Null
try this $oChildObject:=null
and read $oParentObject

Object notation bug?
I am trying to figure out if this is a bug or not. This is a watered down
version of something I am trying to do:
C_OBJECT($oParentObject;$oChildObject)
$oChildObject:=New object
$oParentObject:=New object
$oParentObject.ChildInformation:=$oChildObject
$oParentObject.ChildInformation.FirstName:="John"
$oParentObject.ChildInformation.LastName:="Smith"
I want $oChildObject and $oParentObject.ChildInformation to remain the same and
should because of how the references work, so at this moment each are
{FirstName:John,LastName:Smith}. Let say something happens like maybe there is
a Clear button, how would one clear the child object?
First, I wanted to do this:
$oParentObject.ChildInformation:=Null // $oChildObject =
{FirstName:John,LastName:Smith}
Okay, I thought that was the correct way to clear both objects but maybe there
is a different way so maybe this?
OB SET($oParentObject;"ChildInformation";New object) //
$oChildObject = {FirstName:John,LastName:Smith}
Nope, again the child object with $oParentObject is cleared but $oChildObject
remains {FirstName:John,LastName:Smith}. So do I really have to loop over all
properties and remove them individually?
OB REMOVE($oParentObject.ChildInformation;"FirstName")
OB REMOVE($oParentObject.ChildInformation;"LastName") //
$oChildObject = {}
Finally when I make a change in the $oParentObject.ChildInformation the
referenced object $oChildObject is also updated.
Is this a bug? Shouldn't the :=Null work and also change the $oChildObject

Re: interesting find
Tim the problem is the compiler did not choke on the code and it seemed to worked compiled but did not work in source while testing Regards Chuck Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 21, 2019, at 10:45 AM, Randy Engle via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > I seem to recall that in v1.x of 4D (or v2 when the compiler first showed > up), you could practically write in Swahili, and 4D would not complain. 😉 > > Every version since then, 4D has become less "forgiving" (or as Tim Says: > "smarter") > > Randy Engle > > -Original Message- > From: 4D_Tech <4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com> On Behalf Of Timothy Penner via > 4D_Tech > Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 4:31 PM > To: 4D iNug Technical <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > Cc: Timothy Penner > Subject: RE: interesting find > > I have been telling people for years that the compiler gets smarter in each > new version.

RE: interesting find
I seem to recall that in v1.x of 4D (or v2 when the compiler first showed up), you could practically write in Swahili, and 4D would not complain. 😉 Every version since then, 4D has become less "forgiving" (or as Tim Says: "smarter") Randy Engle -Original Message- From: 4D_Tech <4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com> On Behalf Of Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 4:31 PM To: 4D iNug Technical <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> Cc: Timothy Penner Subject: RE: interesting find I have been telling people for years that the compiler gets smarter in each new version.
