convert long to byte

Johnnyfumi

Hy, is there anybody that know how to convert long to an array of byte? i'm using a flotingpoint long (as 3.4) and i want to write this on a secure digital (i use fsrw.spin), so i havo to convert this long in a byte (array of 4 byte), but i don't know how to do this.

thanks

Johnny

I don't see the need to convert to byte... Just use FSRW's pwrite command, give address of variable and tell it to write 4 bytes.

But, if you insist, you can use the byte[noparse]/noparse syntax: pputc(longvar.byte[noparse][[/noparse]0])

Don't forget, longs in the Propeller are stored in reverse order (little-endian). LSB first and MSB last.
