Hello,
I'm trying to interpret a data format where bits 4 to 0 in a certain byte are used to indicate the number of description blocks following.
So I would use something like:
uint_flex "4,3,2,1,0" "Count"
move -3
{
uint8 "Some byte ~"
} [Count]
Unfortunately 'Count' is not accepted as repetition count.
An alternative could be
uint8 "Count"
{
uint8 "Some byte ~"
} [Count & 0x1f]
But that is also no allowed.

Do you have a solution?
Thank you in advance.

I'm using WinHex 12.05SR3

Sorry, are you using a registered version of WinHex? Cannot find your name in our customer database.

Oh yes, the following construction gives an error on the [unlimited]:

uint8 "Count"
numbering 1
{
IfEqual ~ Count
ExitLoop
EndIf
uint8 "Some byte ~"
} [unlimited]
