Dave, is this value a product of the binaryDecode function? If so,
it's usually just a question of chosing the right parameter for the
platform/processor.
Rather than <if "Intel" is in the processor> or somesuch, (might it
me "AMD"...), I use this function to determine the endianness of the
system an app is running on:
function bigEndian
put binaryEncode("I",1) into tBinNum -- this creates a 4 byte uint
in host byte order
repeat for each char i in tBinNum
put charToNum(i) & space after tList
end repeat
return char 1 of tList = 0
end bigEndian
if it returns true then we're big-endian, otherwise little-endian.
Without testing, I think you could use the binaryEncode("h*"....
(lower case "h") for little-endian processors.
so:
put empty into tHexStatus
if bigEndian() then
get binaryDecode("H*", myStatus, tHexStatus)
else
get binaryDecode("h*, myStatus, tHexStatus)
end if
Best,
Mark

Hi,
That works great, thanks a lot. One other thing though:
I have an external that will eventually have to work on Mac/Intel,
Mac/PowerPC and Windows. The value that is being returned is
0x00000001, however on an Intel Mac it's being displayed as
0x01000000. e.g. it's a Big/Little Endian issue. Is there a
standard way to handle this for both platforms???
Thanks a lot for your help.
All the Best

If it's a revolution number, you can use <put baseConvert(myStatus,
10,16)>, if it's a 4 byte binary value, you can
put empty into tHexStatus
get binaryDecode("H*", myStatus, tHexStatus)
and tHexStatus should now contain the value as as hex chars.
Hope this helps,
Best,

Hi,
I have a parameter that is passed back to RunRev in a Variable
from an External Command, e.g. the TranScript line is:
put myExternalFunction("myHandle") into myStatus
and the C/C++ line in the External is:
SetVariableEx(theArgumentArrayPtr[0],"",&myHandle,&myStatus);
I would now like to display the "handle" as a Hex Value in RunRev
but for the life of me I can't think how to do it! Guess my brain
has gone to sleep today! Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot and All the Best
Dave
