Re^2: Unable to unpack a hex string

FYI, another way to read bits from a string is to use vec, that makes it possible to read N bits from position P.

Yes, but it also has byte/word/doubleword/quadword alignment restrictions.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Suck that fhit

Oh right, thanks. So that's either pack and unpack or binary masking and shifting operations (maybe combined with vec) on integer values then.	[reply]
