grabbing the bytes out of a long

Zap-o

I cant figure out how to grab the bytes out of a long. Certainly I am going about it in the wrong direction.

[b]

Var
   Long Junk
   Byte Parts [noparse][[/noparse] 8 ]

Main
   Junk := $36_35_34_33
  
  Parts [noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] := Junk >> 24
  Parts [noparse][[/noparse] 1 ] := Junk >> 16
  Parts [noparse][[/noparse] 2 ] := Junk >> 8
  Parts [noparse][[/noparse] 3 ] := Junk
[/b]

The idea is that Parts [noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] would be $36 and so on.

Try this:

Parts[noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] := Junk.byte[noparse][[/noparse] 0 ]
Parts[noparse][[/noparse] 1 ] := Junk.byte[noparse][[/noparse] 1 ]
Parts[noparse][[/noparse] 2 ] := Junk.byte[noparse][[/noparse] 2 ]
Parts[noparse][[/noparse] 3 ] := Junk.byte[noparse][[/noparse] 3 ]

Chuck,
You have shown me the light, now I understand "bytes and strings " more.

Thank you.
