The easiest way is: Reg_Ins(10) Call_File(100, "BIN-HEX.VDM") ;-) Seriously: What is your intention? With some lines of macro code ALL is possible! (If the feature isn't already implemented in VEDIT...) I made a simple macro to convert such a "binary" output to hex, decimal or character: http://ziemski.privat.t-online.de/vedit/macros/abin2hex.vdm Example: -- From: X X X . XX X X. XX XXX. X XXXXX. X X X . XXXX X. XXX . -- To: 52 65 67 5F 54 79 70 -- or: 82 101 103 95 84 121 112 -- or: Reg_Typ Christian

I just have too much time on my hands. I noticed that most of the 'masks' available for Reg_Type() have corresponding display mode, translate and conversion toggles/options. Just didn't find a way to quickly transpose bitwise back to the source form. I'd since posting that written a macro to do it for the heck of it. What would really be kind of cool is if it was possible to create custom 'masks' for Reg_Type(). -- John

I don't see much need for more text register operations, as it is easy to copy the register into a buffer where all operations are possible. Once we implement named-string variables, we will re-evaluate all this. I would like to add more Perl functionality to the VEDIT macro language. Ted.
