convert binary to exadecimal

Hi,
I want to have the status of 150 banners (on / off) in hexadecimal format, but do not know the method with MMF2

I found this solution:
I wrote the status of these banners on a "string" es:
"1110000000"
in this case the first three banners are ON but this is a string for 10 banner and is simple.

the problem is when I have to store the state of 150 banners because the string is 150 characters.

How can I do to have the status of 150 es variables of these banners 0/1 with a size of a few characters

a binary value like this: 1111111100 from as a result esadecomale = 3fc

How can I get this formula with MMF 2?
Thanks

Maybe it is difficult to explain this.
I have the status value of these banners on a list:
banner_1 = 1
banner_1 = 1
banner_1 = 0
banner_1 = 0
...
banner_150 = 1

I imported a string of all the states in this way:
"1100 .................................................. ............................... 1 "

A string of 150 characters.
Is there a simpler solution? that uses a hex code? have a simple solution to have a string or value of a few characters?

Put it in an array, and loop through the Array?

a binary number with 150 digits is way too large to convert. Remember that binary conversion is done by doubling the value 1 each time you move one digit to the left. If you try to double the number one 150 times you're going to be exceeding the capability of the hardware.

that being said, you could break the string of 150 characters into 5 groups of 30 and then easily convert each of them into hex shorthand.

Yes

thanks tuna, I've already shared this string into 5 parts , I have created five interfaces and each interface relay switch on 30 . I made a very interesting software that allows you to write a list of the ' hours, minutes , seconds and hundredths and the status of all the banner to switch the relays. Turn on the banner at the appointed time and when the time reaches you, turn on the banner set. unfortunately, I have to take a single line for command and I want to find a system other than a string that is 150 characters. use hexadecimal ?


This is a simple example. I used the variable object, but I have to use an ' array because the variables are just over 20 and I have to use a bigger structure . I am convinced that there is an easier way to type in a list of 150 state variables 0/1 .

are you saying you just need to check the string to see if the banner is on or off? I guess i'm not fully understanding what the ultimate goal is.

My objective is to have a simplification of that string. That is just a simplified example. I would like to have a status of 150 banner inside a string, but that it has a more simplified code.
One solution could be this:

__________X1__________X2____________X3_______X4___ ________X5___________X6

Y0 "00:00:00:00"____1011..X_______1011..X____XXXXX..X ___XXXXX.XX_____XXXXX.XXX
Y1 "00:00:06:25"____1000..X_______1010..X____XXXXX..X ___XXXXX.XX_____XXXXX.XXX
Y3...

almost want to say, just use an array
and fill it from 0..149 with 1 or 0

Yeah Perry, I'm thinking the same thing. I don't understand what the goal is to use Hexadecimal...

THIS IS EXAMPLE BINARY VALUE IN MY STRING: "101101010110101001110110101010" convert to EXADECIMAL= 760913322
I wanted something like this.
how can I convert a string in a exadecimal value?
Could You please help me?

I wanted to use exadecimal value just because it is a small number
binary for 30 staus on/off=101101010110101001110110101010"
HEXA for 30 staus on/off=760913322

Sorry...Exadecimal is "2D5A9DAA"
This is decimal value: 760913322

We're just trying to help.
But not understanding why you would want to make it so complicated to get an 0 and 1 states for 150 banners, and make it 1 string and change it to a
Hex.
You need to convert it back and then you need to take the whole string apart and do what you have to do.
Using a fast loop through an array with the 0 and 1, is a lot easier, and doesn't make you live complicated.

Just my 2 cents.

You can store the value in the string using hex$(). Then you should be able to test if set with the following

Compare 2 values: if val(mid$(flagstring, (flagnum / 32) * 8, 8)) AND (2 ^ (flagnum MOD 32)) is different to 0.

I've not tested the above in MMF but essentially the aim is to retrieve a 8 character long string making up the 4 bytes of a integer value in hex and convert to a value. Then perform an AND bitwise operation on the value to test if the bit is set.

flagstring being the string where you have stored your flags
flagnum will be the flag number to test.

Example:
flagstring = 125817B5A1FB8F052D5A9DAA7015D9E3003BC715
flagnum = 88

val(mid$(flagstring, (flagnum / 32) * 8, 8)) = 0x2D5A9DAA (760913322) (be sure not to place any decimal points in the calculation. You want it to round down).
AND
(2 ^ (flagnum MOD 32)) = 0x1000000 (16777216) (IIRC to the power of in MMF is POW).

0x2D5A9DAA AND 0x1000000 = 0x1000000 . So flag 88 is set.

Thank you, but it is very complex without mmf2 one example.
You've been very helpful, but I did not understand the concept.
I wrote a string of 120 characters and everything works fine, but I believe that there is a much simpler system.

This is an example of my program that I'm making to turn on the fountains. I wanted to have something more simple, but I believe the string "0110101" is the thing more clear to see the status of the banners. the instructions are very messy because I did it very fast, and the program is still far from the end

As you're saving the data into an array already and then loading the data into a list object. Why not just use the array? You could still load the data into the list object just for a visual representation of the timeline.
