Representing Binary Values Directly?

[ark1320]

Is there a way to represent numbers directly in binary format? For example, instead of writing ipc.writeUB(0x1234, 0xF2), write ipc.writeUB(0x1234, 0b11110010) ?
I can't seem to find anything that shows how to indicate the number is binary.

Thanks,

Al

Maybe, I don't know though - why not just try it? I don't know if lua supports "0b" for binary, but should be easy to write a quick script to test / check this.

Me neither - it would be in the general Lua documentation, not in FSUIPC's documentation. But I would think that it would be 0b, and if that doesn't work then it isn't supported.

Hi John,

I did in fact try some things that didn't work. FSUIPC has added some Lua functionality (such as all the ipc.wxy commands) that are not in the formal Lua documentation, so I thought I'd ask here "just in case". 

Thanks for checking,

Al
