Re^5: Extracting Bit Fields (Again)

we should have 00 for x2

No. I did mention "Use 'xn' in the template to skip over bits you aren't interested in. ". See also pack.

The output in hex should be 0 0 3 56 79A2

So skipping the first field, and converting your expectations to decimal, the output should be:

0
3
86
31138

Which it wasn't, but will be now I've updated the code above!

Thank you for bringing my mistake to my attention. :)

Great! Works fine for me now. Thanks a lot, appreciate it! I am writing a template file that will have the bit field descriptions. This file will be parsed by the perl program eventually to generate human readable values for the register values Your function will be the core of this processing Thanks again!	[reply]
