In case this helps, below are custom JAWS scripting functions (from the Homer script library) that work with decimal/hex conversions and low/high words in any JAWS version. Jamal String Function MathDecIntToHexString(Int iDec) ;Convert decimal integer to hex string Var Int iLeadingZero, Int i, Int iPower, Int iDiv, String s, String sLookup, String sReturn Let iLeadingZero = True Let sReturn = "0x" Let sLookup = "123456789abcdef" Let iPower = 7 While iPower >= 0 Let iDiv = MathIntToPower(16, iPower) Let i = iDec / iDiv If i Then Let s = Substring(sLookup, i, 1) Let iLeadingZero = False Else Let s = "0" EndIf If !iLeadingZero Then Let sReturn = sReturn + s EndIf Let iDec = iDec % iDiv Let iPower = iPower - 1 EndWhile Return sReturn EndFunction Int Function MathHexStringToDecInt(String sHex) ;Convert hex string to decimal integer Var Int iReturn, Int i, Int iPower, String s, String sLookup Let sLookup = "123456789abcdef" Let sHex = StringLower(sHex) If StringLeft(sHex, 2) == "0x" Then Let sHex = StringChopLeft(sHex, 2) EndIf Let sHex = StringRight("0x0000000" + sHex, 8) Let iPower = 7 While iPower >= 0 Let s = SubString(sHex, 8 - iPower, 1) Let i = StringContains(sLookup, s) Let iReturn = iReturn + i * MathIntToPower(16, iPower) Let iPower = iPower - 1 EndWhile Return iReturn EndFunction Int Function MathHighWord(Int iDec) ;Get high word of an integer Var Int i, Int iPower, Int iDiv, Int iReturn Let iPower = 7 While iPower >= 4 Let iDiv = MathIntToPower(16, iPower) Let i = iDec / iDiv Let iReturn = iReturn + i * MathIntToPower(16, iPower - 4) Let iDec = iDec % iDiv Let iPower = iPower - 1 EndWhile Return iReturn EndFunction Int Function MathIntToPower(Int i, Int iPower) ;Get result of a number raised to a power Var Int iReturn Let iReturn = 1 While iPower > 0 Let iReturn = iReturn * i Let iPower = iPower - 1 EndWhile Return iReturn EndFunction Int Function MathLowWord(Int iDec) ;Get low word of an integer Var Int iPower, Int iDiv, Int iReturn Let iPower = 4 Let iDiv = MathIntToPower(16, iPower) Let iReturn = iDec % iDiv Return iReturn EndFunction __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
