CHARRLR()

Process each character in a string with bitwise ROLL RIGHT operation

Syntax

CHARRLR (<[@]cString>, <nBitsToRLR> ) --> cRLRString

Arguments

<[@]cString> string to be processed <nBitsToRLR> number of bit positions to be rolled to the right

Returns

<cRLRString> string with bitwise rolled right characters

Description

The CHARRLR() function constructs a new string from the string passed as parameter. To do this, it performs a bitwise ROLL RIGHT (RLR) operation to the characters of the string and places a character in the resulting string whose ASCII value equals to the result of that operation. Be aware that, in contrast to CHARSHR(), bits rolled out on the right are put in again on the left. If the string is passed by reference, the resulting string is stored in <cString>, too. By setting the CSETREF()-switch to .T., the return value can be omitted.
Examples
      ? charrlr (chr(1)+chr(2)+chr(4)+chr(8)+chr(16)+chr(32)+chr(64)+chr(128), 3)
        --> chr(32)+chr(64)+chr(128)+chr(1)+chr(2)+chr(4)+chr(8)+chr(16)
Tests
      charrlr (chr(1)+chr(2)+chr(4)+chr(8)+chr(16)+chr(32)+chr(64)+chr(128), 3) == chr(32)+chr(64)+chr(128)+chr(1)+chr(2)+chr(4)+chr(8)+chr(16)
