Converts a binary variant into a string. Adapted from AutoIt docs.
Syntax
$str = BinaryToString(expr [, flag])
Parameters
| expr | Input to be converted to string. |
| flag | Changes how the expression is converted.(Optional) |
Flag
| Flag | Option |
| 1 | (Default). Binary data is considered ANSI. |
| 2 | Binary data is considered UTF16 Little Endian. |
| 3 | Binary data is considered UTF16 Big Endian. |
| 4 | Binary data is considered UTF8. |
Return Value
Returns a string.
Unlike String which returns a hexidecimal representation of binary data, this function will assume the binary data is a string value and convert it appropriately.
Example
Binary ANSI to String
$buffer = StringToBinary("Hello - ä½ å¥½")
MsgBox(4096, "String() representation" , $buffer)
; output 0x48656C6C6F202D20E4BD20E5A5BD
$buffer = BinaryToString($buffer)
MsgBox(4096, "BinaryToString() ANSI representation" , $buffer)
; output "Hello - ä½ å¥½"
Binary UTF16-LE to String
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
$buffer = StringToBinary("Hello - ä½ å¥½", 2)
MsgBox(4096, "String() representation" , $buffer)
; output 0x480065006C006C006F0020002D002000E400BD002000E500A500BD00
$buffer = BinaryToString($buffer, 2)
MsgBox(4096, "BinaryToString() UTF16-LE representation" , $buffer)
; output "Hello - ä½ å¥½"
Binary UTF16-BE to String
$buffer = StringToBinary("Hello - ä½ å¥½", 3)
MsgBox(4096, "String() representation" , $buffer)
; output 0x00480065006C006C006F0020002D002000E400BD002000E500A500BD
$buffer = BinaryToString($buffer, 3)
MsgBox(4096, "BinaryToString() UTF16-BE representation" , $buffer)
; output "Hello - ä½ å¥½"
Binary UTF8 to String
$buffer = StringToBinary("Hello - ä½ å¥½", 4)
MsgBox(4096, "String() representation" , $buffer)
; output 0x48656C6C6F202D20C3A4C2BD20C3A5C2A5C2BD
$buffer = BinaryToString($buffer, 4)
MsgBox(4096, "BinaryToString() UTF8 representation" , $buffer)
; output "Hello - ä½ å¥½"
