Re^5: sprintf %X endianness

*sigh* look at the op, 00021401 is the thing

*sign* Is what "thing"?

Cos in the OP you wrote:"00021401", but in this post you wrote: 00204110 twice. Which should I take as being your requirement?

IF you are now saying that the OP is what you want, then apply yourself, because what I posted in my first response is all you need:

$raw = "\1\24\2\0";;

$local = unpack 'L>', $raw;;
printf "%08x\n", $local;;
01140200

$local = unpack 'L<', $raw;;
printf "%08x\n", $local;;
00021401

And yes, that last pair of statements will work regardless of the platform it is run on.

You ignored it, and then I typoed. I don't have a different machine to test if sprintf %x does the same thing on all machines.	[reply]

You ignored it, I did not ignore it. I used an example that more clearly demonstrates the process. and then I typoed. How am I supposed to distinguish which is the typo?

I did not ignore it. I used an example that more clearly demonstrates the process. Well, I kind of asked a yes/or no question, and then I got lost in your answer. On third look just use it and the code will do the right thing. seems to answer that sprintf %x will return the same string on all machines How am I supposed to distinguish which is the typo? I don't think you are, I kind of think I pointed out what I wanted when I when I realized I made the typo Thanks	[reply]
