a simple stupid question :)
Author
Okay i got this simple (and stupid) question
i got a
char * data
contains several bytes..
lets say 8 (size changes though), would be 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08
okay, i need to run a switch on it, like
switch(data)
{
case 0x01:
blabla;
return;
};
now, i need to get the first byte only, (0x01) to check it..
like data[0], but that wont work (or atleast aint working here).
anyone got an idea of super quickly getting the first byte only into the swich check ?
Thanks

the id doesnt match the data
eg 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
wont say its a 0x01
eg 01
will say its a 0x01
eg 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
wont say its a 0x01
eg 01
will say its a 0x01
Subscripting should definately work, provided your pointer is valid...
#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(){ char buff [] = { 0x0, 4, 3, 1, 6, }; char* ptr = buff; switch(ptr[0]) { case 0x0: cout << "Zero" << endl; break; default: cout << "Nonzero" << endl; break; } return 0;}
Chris Hare is right. When you did
switch (data)data[0]*data

still aint working, here is what i got so far
now, if my buffer looks like this
67 00 00 01 20 22 02 00
it will use default
if my buffer looks like this
67
it will use the case 0x67
void checkout(char* buffer){ char * ptr = buffer; switch(ptr[0]) { // general stuff case 0x67: do something break; default: do something else break; };}now, if my buffer looks like this
67 00 00 01 20 22 02 00
it will use default
if my buffer looks like this
67
it will use the case 0x67
0x67 is very different to 67. 67 is, well, 67 in base 10 [decimal], but 0x67 is in base 16 [hexadecimal], or 6 * 16 + 7 * 1 = 103 in decimal. So, just use plain 67.

im guessing i need a workaround, since i need to compare hex values.
case 0x67
case 0x68
and so on.
so my guess is, i need to convert the char * buffer to a int * buffer or something.
case 0x67
case 0x68
and so on.

0x67 will fit into a char var, it's just that you need to ensure you write 0x67 to the array and not 67. That is, if you are using hexadecimal, use it all the way through your relevant code.
