Is there an operator available for bitwise shifting a hexadecimal value when scripting? I have a byte of date that requires a bitwise shift to the right by 4 bits before a bitwise AND, in order for it to be converted to a meaningful decimal number. I didn't see anything obvious in the Scripts help document. Thanks! | ||

From the program help and manual: Whereever numerical parameters are expected (integer numbers), the integrated formula parser allows you to use mathematical expressions. Such expressions need to be enclosed in brackets. They must not contain space characters. They may make use of variables that can be interpreted as integer numbers. Supported operations are addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), integer division (/), modular division (%), bitwise AND (&), bitwise OR (|), and bitwise XOR (^). FYI: Bitwise shifting is multiplying or dividing by a power of 2. |
