CONSTB

The CONSTB function outputs the specified binary constant.

This function has no inputs.

Property

NameProperty TypeDescription
DataString

The binary data to be output.

Specify the binary data to be output using base 16 Hexadecimal form (0-9,a-f,A-F 2 digit form). Use delimiters to separate the data; the space, tab and new line are a few examples of possible delimiters (" \t\n\r\f").

How a Binary function handles String to Byte conversions

The binary representation of a string is dependant on its encoding scheme. Two different encoding schemes may have the same binary representation of a text string. Similarly, two different encoding schemes may have different binary representations for the same text string. Below are some encoding schemes and their resulting binary representations for the string "aeiou".

euc-jp: 61 65 69 6F 75

shift_jis: 61 65 69 6F 75

utf-8: 61 65 69 6F 75

utf-16: FE FF 00 61 00 65 00 69 00 6F 00 75

The Binary Functions LEFTB, RIGHTB, MIDB, REPLACEB and TRUNCATEB handle input streams differently, depending on the input's data type. Binary data is processed as it is. Any other type of input, other than binary data, is first converted to a string (a string is left as is), and then this string is then converted to its binary form according to the encoding scheme selected.

The LEFTB, RIGHTB, MIDB, REPLACEB and TRUNCATEB functions can output the processed binary data or convert it to the specified encoding scheme's string representation for output.

If binary data cannot be successfully converted back to a string, an empty string is output.
