Byte Formatting

[jfryer]

Does anyone know of a way (or doco location) that will let me output bytes recieved over a comm line (serial) in binary format,

ie
recieved the number 8
output to screen 00001000 (or even 1000 will do).
recieved the letter a
output to screen 01100001

String java.math.BigInteger.toString( radix);

Good luck

I would use the toBinaryString method of the Integer class:

   class TestBinaryInt
           
   {
   
              
      public static void main(String Args[])
              
      {
         System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(8));
         System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString('a'));
      }
   }

Hope that helps!
