BitMask add-in

[lamer]

The second one - BitMask. Thanks to Donkey for his BitMask add-in as idea. This add-in is enhanced and allows to perform various bitwise operations on destination and source and see the result.

Hi all!
New upload of raBitMask - one per year, not bad :green2
1. Added left and right shifts
2. NOT button for both destination and source
3. Improved GUI - a bit "colorized"
4. The source included (rewritten)

Just replace the old one DLL with in AddIns directory with this one from attachment

Regards

P.S.

Nice job Lamer! Thanks. :bg

Excellent work !!

I long ago replaced my bitmask generator with yours and this is a nice improvement, and no, once a year isn't that bad.

But credit where credit is due I can't remember who originally had the idea ("Delight" I beliieve) for a bitmask generator, I remember helping someone out with his stand-alone package and thought to write my own for RadASM but it was not my idea originally.

Thank you, guys!

Donkey, the fact remains - I thought to write it when I saw your BitMask. :thumbu
BTW, the standalone package may be found on my web-site (for those who code with Notepad  :bg).

I am sorry, there was a little bug (I forgot to set boolean to initial FALSE) which allowed to type any characters and not hex characters only. :( Repaired. New upload.

Sorry for inconvenience, but can someone explain me what is this exactly in mathematic:

Code Select Expand

.elseif nOutput==IDRB_HEX && ((al >= '0' && al <= '9')||(al >= 'A' && al <= 'F')||(al >= 'a' && al <= 'f'))
i have small problem, i dont know what is:
this &&, and this  ||

thanks.

Hello Trodon. Those are logical operators - AND, OR. To understand how this works, replace "&&" with the word AND, and "||" with the word OR and read it aloud. The whole thing translates to "if nOutput == the hex digit in AL"...  :wink

[lamer]

Hi, trodon!
&& means AND
|| means OR
nOutput is a variable shows how the input should be treated(hex or decimal)
al stores charachter code wich has been sent to edit control
so the line of code means:

else if we should treat the input as hexadecimal and one of the following is true: current input character is between 0 and 9, or between A and F, or between a and f, then...

Hi Mark, you are quicker than me :bg :bg :bg

[trodon]

ok, i understand now, thank you for explaining me :U

Comparison run-time operators

     Operator      Meaning

     ==            Equal
     !=            Not equal
     >             Greater than
     >=            Greater than or equal to
     <             Less than
     <=            Less than or equal to
     &             Bit test (format: expression & bitnumber)
     !             Logical NOT
     &&            Logical AND

     ||            Logical OR

     CARRY?        Carry bit set
     OVERFLOW?     Overflow bit set
     PARITY?       Parity bit set
     SIGN?         Sign bit set
     ZERO?         Zero bit set

     The comparison run-time operators are used to make comparisons
     between variables, registers, and constants as the program is
     being executed. Use these operators to give conditions for
     conditional-control directives (.IF, .UNTIL, .WHILE). These

     operators can be combined with other run- time operators and
     parentheses to form complex conditions.

     The conditional-control directives (.IF, .UNTIL, .WHILE) can also
     check the state of processor flags. The CARRY?, OVERFLOW?,
     PARITY?, SIGN?, and ZERO? flags can be used directly in a C-style
     expression.

     For example:

       .IF   !PARITY? || ( AX == 0 ) ;Execute body of block if parity
             -                       ;flag is clear or if the AX

             -                       ;register is zero
             -
       .ENDIF

     Note: The expression is evaluated from left to right, so in this
           example, the state of the parity flag is checked before the
           AX comparison.
