#80050 - 2001-05-01 04:05 PM I would like a Bitwise XOR function
Anonymous

Currently AND, OR and NOT are boolean (returning 1 or 0),and & and | are bitwise.
A bitwise 'Exclusive OR' would help in setting/clearing bitfields (used in file properties and Windows Dialog boxes etc)
(Any suggestions on a symbol to represent it?)

Excellent idea. If you need an X(n)OR function in the meantime, try this:

$eCode=chr((asc($sCode) & $iEncrypt) | (255-(asc($sCode) | $iEncrypt)))

if Z = A xor B then $eCode = $sCode xor $iEncrypt.

If all you want to do is set and reset bits you don't need an XOR function, as the & and | perform those functions. XOR would be more suited to toggling bits.

Is it me, or does cj's code return the inverse of the xor result?
if $A = %1010
$B = %1100
then =====
$A xor $b = %0110

so I think the code should be:
$Z = ($A | $B) & (-1 -($A & $B))

AJH, it is not you, that is an XNOR function

Thanks for the XOR version

Well most of you guys seem to be more of programmers then Admins...
Perhaps ones that have turned into LAN/WAN Administrators.
Here is a link to another site that has some more information on this stuff that may help
the rest of us to learn more.
