BitOffString (String function)

Clear bits in one string from another (String class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.9]

BitOffString turns off a set of bits in one string as indicated by another.

Syntax

%result = string:BitOffString( offBits, [Pad= c])

%result	A string to receive the result of turning off the bits in `offBits` for `string`.
string	The string to turn off bits in.
offBits	The bits to turn off.
`Pad`	A single character that indicates the character with which the shorter of the two input strings is to be extended. As many copies of `c` are used as is required to make the shorter string as long as the longer. If both strings are of equal length, no padding is required. The default value of `Pad` is `'00':x`.

Using a null string for offBits is an easy way of turning off a specific set of bits for each byte in a string (the Pad value).
BitOffString is most useful for working with binary data, for example binary data being sent or received with Janus Sockets.
