I am using Perl and I have a string such as the $testString below. I take the string and remove the trailing/leading whitespace. Then, I remove the spaces between the words. My last goal is to do a bitwise & operator (mask) to determine if the 2nd bit is a 1.
What I want in this example is an end output of 0. I get 4294967295 with an error saying "Argument "00008008000000FF00800000" isn't numeric in bitwise and (&) at .... line 16. Do I have to typecast the array to be an int? I thought you didn't have to do that. Please advise.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# File displayPipeTracer2.pl
$testString = " 00008008 000000FF 00800000";
print "Original: $testString\n";
$testString =~ s/^\s+//; #remove leading spaces
$testString =~ s/\s+$//; #remove trailing spaces
print "Removed L/T: $testString\n";
$testString =~ s/\s//g;
print "Removed ws: $testString\n";
$maskResult = $testString & 400000000000000000000000;
print "Mask Result: $maskResult\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
