I assume that for most humans it is easier to see the "finding bit X" problem as one of dealing with strings, than as one of calculating (although, of course, the latter is much easier for the computer). In other words: sprintf '%b' converts to a string of bits, then I can take the 7th char from the right is easier to understand (for most humans) than If I have it as a number, I simply "AND" it with 2⁶ Of course, it all depends: if there are millions of lines, the inefficiency will add up and become noticeable.

Can't disagree, but obviously some programmers are more human than others ;-)	[reply]

Maybe because syedasadali95 is actually dealing with hex digits (nibbles), not with bits as assumed by my post and stated by every one of syedasadali95's posts up until the reply to soonix. Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond	[reply]
