Binary Conversion??


Hi guys,

Sorry for repeating the same message but I forgot about the subject. PLEASE REPLY TO THIS THREAD AND IGNORE THE BOTTOM ONE. Bear with me, this is my second time posting anything. I am stuck on one more problem here. I want to convert an integer into 8-bit binary format and then show that 8-bit binary on the screen. So for example suppose I want to convert integer 7:

Integer ------ 7
8-binary --- 0000 0111

Display on screen ---- 0000 0111

Please let me know if there exist a command to do so.

Regards,

Sajjad

There are a variety of approaches you can take, but the easiest is to use Tcl's binary format and binary scan commands (courtesy of Helmut Giese):

proc val2bin val {
    set binRep [binary format c $val]
    binary scan $binRep B* binStr
    return $binStr
}

[tt]% val2Bin 7
00000111[/tt]

Check out the Tcl'ers Wiki (

http://wiki.tcl.tk)

for more information on this topic. I'd suggest starting with "binary,"

http://wiki.tcl.tk/1181,

and "Binary representation of numbers,"

http://wiki.tcl.tk/1591.
