BitXorString (String function)

Do bitwise exclusive Or of strings (String class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.9]

BitXorString does a logical XOR of the bits in two strings.

Syntax

%result = string:BitXorString( xorBits, [Pad= c])

Syntax terms

%result	A string to receive the result of XORing together the bits in string and xorBits.
string	One of the strings to be XORed.
xorBits	The other string to be XORed.
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 pad 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.

Usage notes

• Using a null string or xorBits is an easy way of XORing each byte in a string with a specific byte value (the pad value).
• BitXorString is most useful for working with binary data, for example binary data being sent or received with Janus Sockets.
• BitXorString was introduced in "Sirius Mods" version 7.9.
