Hi, I have a text file which stores decimal file offset values on separate lines. eg, 100 200 300 The idea is that I could read these offset values one at a time, open another file and change the value at that offset position. The script is something like this... Assign changeByte 0x33 // Read offset values Open C:\offsets.txt Readln MapOffset //open the file to be altered Open C:\abcdefgh.dat Goto MapOffset Write changeByte Save The difficulty is that Readln will read the Hex values, and so for the first line in offsets.txt the offset 100 is interpretated as 3158065. While I realise this is correct operation I wondered if a function or work-around is possible to read/interpret 100 as a decimal integer? Alternatively a small script to do a conversion would be required. Maybe use a separate vbscript to pre-process the offsets.txt file. Any suggestions/help appreciated. Thanks. | ||

> The difficulty is that Readln will read the Hex values ReadLn reads any kind data, exactly as stored, not the ASCII character representation of numbers in decimal notation, also not hex values. Hex values are just a certain kind of representation of binary data as stored on the disk. > wondered if a function or work-around is possible to > read/interpret 100 as a decimal integer From the program help and user manual: StrToInt MyInt MyStr Stores the binary representation of the integer number specified as a decimal ASCII string in the second parameter in a variable specified as the first parameter. | ||

Many thanks Stefan, Sorry I had read the help file and mistakenly tried IntToStr. Now I realise StrToInt was the solution! Anyway it now works as I required:-) Thanks again for your assistance |
