    Hi,

    I have two functions. One converts ascii to hex and the other uses the function and displays the inverted data. I have shown the two functions below

    Code:
    /*----------------------*/
    /* Convert ASCII to hex */
    /*----------------------*/
    unsigned int asc2hex(char *str)
    {
    unsigned int res;
    char *p;
    
    res = 0;
    for (p = str; *p != '\0' ; ++p)
      {
      res <<= 4;
      if (*p >= '0' && *p <= '9')
        res |= *p - '0';
      else
        res |= *p - 'A' + 10;
      }
    return res;
    }
    Code:
    /*----------------------*/
    /* Invert data          */
    /*----------------------*/
    invdata( int cycle, char *actstr, char * userData)
    {
            char this_input_data[1024];
            unsigned int val;
    
            get_facvalue(userData, cycle, this_input_data);
    	val = asc2hex(this_input_data);
    	sprintf(actstr,"%08u",~val);
    	return 0;
    }
    
    The above functions work perfectly well. But, when I try to do the same and display the result in binary I don't get the proper result. The result just shows "b". I have shown the two functions below

    Code:
    /*----------------------*/
    /* Convert ascii to binary*/
    /*----------------------*/
    unsigned int asc2bin(char *str)
    {
    unsigned int res;
    unsigned int binres;
    char *p;
    
    binres = 0;
    for (p = str; *p != '\0' ; ++p)
      {
      if (*p >= '0' && *p <= '9')
        res = *p - '0';
      else
        res = *p - 'A' + 10;
      binres <<= 4;
      switch(res)
      {
    	case '0': binres|='0000';break;
    	case '1': binres|='0001';break;
    	case '2': binres|='0010';break;
    	case '3': binres|='0011';break;
    	case '4': binres|='0100';break;
    	case '5': binres|='0101';break;
    	case '6': binres|='0110';break;
    	case '7': binres|='0111';break;
    	case '8': binres|='1000';break;
    	case '9': binres|='1001';break;
    	case 'A': binres|='1010';break;
    	case 'B': binres|='1011';break;
    	case 'C': binres|='1100';break;
    	case 'D': binres|='1101';break;
    	case 'E': binres|='1110';break;
    	case 'F': binres|='1111';break;
    	case 'a': binres|='1010';break;
    	case 'b': binres|='1011';break;
    	case 'c': binres|='1100';break;
    	case 'd': binres|='1101';break;
    	case 'e': binres|='1110';break;
    	case 'f': binres|='1111';break;
    	default:break;
      }
      }
    return binres;
    }
    Code:
    /*----------------------*/
    /* Invert data          */
    /*----------------------*/
    invdata( int cycle, char *actstr, char * userData)
    {
            char this_input_data[1024];
            unsigned int val;
    
            get_facvalue(userData, cycle, this_input_data);
    	val = asc2bin(this_input_data);
    	sprintf(actstr,"%032b",~val);
    	return 0;
    }
    Can you tell me what is wrong?

    Thanks!

    sprintf doesn't handle b format specifier
