I have a string of binary characters from a helper app that I need to convert into ten different numbers. The first two numbers are in int32 format and the remaining eight are in float32. I've been fighting with binaryDecode all day and I'm not getting anywhere. Here is the base 64 encoded version of my data. If anyone can point me to extracting this data properly, I'd be forever grateful.

Base 64 encoded binary: AAAAAj9b6Lo+qptlQJfA8wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHA==

Hi brentj84062,

The base64() function will give you the binary version of your data, but I have no idea what you need to do with the result. Maybe I can help more if you tell us which helper app you are using.

Best regards,

Mark

Hello.

Sorry about being so vague. I've figured out the problem, however. The issue was that the float32s were being sent in reverse order. Once I had flipflopped them appropriately, binaryDecode worked perfectly using N2f8 for the dataTypes. Thanks for the reply, anyway.

Thanks,
