Read bit in TCP connection

[jackedi]

Hello,

I'm trying to read data in TCP connection.

as I understand I get a string as data from this connection.

I need to read different bits in this data

what will be the best way to do that?

thank you

Are you taking about conversion? You can use convert to byte array

[jackedi]

kind of conversion but to binarry data.

the thing is i'm working with another program that sends binarry data and i want to be able to read each bit in it.

for example if the other program send "111100" i get the char of this value (means "<") and i want to be able to read the original data "111100"

do you know how can it be done?

TCP/IP communication doesn't work that way. TCP/IP transfers bytes, not bits. So, do you get one byte, or do you get 6 bytes (one for each numeric value)?

i get one byte and need to read each bit separately

In that case you will get a string of one character from the TCP/IP Read function. You had indicated that you want to see if, for example, the character is "<". The ASCII code for "<" is hex 3C, which corresponds to 00111100. Thus, it sounds like you just need to make a comparison against a character. If you want to check a specific bit pattern then the easiest way to do this is to simply convert the string character to a U8 and compare to a U8 constant, like this:
