•

The difference between “abc” and “abd” is -1 (based on the third pair-wise 
character comparison).

•

The difference between “@” and “abc” is -33.

•

The difference between “1” and “abc” is -47.

The following is the syntax for the COMPARE operation.

text.COMPARE("string")

Extracting the nth Integer from a String of Bytes 

You can use the following operators to treat a string of bytes that represent text as 
a sequence of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit signed or unsigned integers, and then extract 
the nth integer from the sequence. 

You can convert a text string to a hash value by using the .HASH operator. This 
operator returns a 31-bit positive integer as a result of the operation. Following is 
the format of the expression:

text.HASH

This operator ignores case and white spaces. For example, after the operation, the 
two strings "Ab c" and "a bc" would produce the same hash value.

text.GET_SIGNED16(n, 

endianness)

Treats the string of bytes represented by text as a sequence of 
16-bit signed integers and returns the nth integer. The second 
argument takes a value of 0 for little endian or 1 for big 
endian.

text.GET_SIGNED32(n, 

endianness)

Treats the string of bytes represented by text as a sequence of 
32-bit signed integers and returns the nth integer. The second 
argument takes a value of 0 for little endian or 1 for big 
endian.

text.GET_SIGNED8(n)

Treats the string of bytes represented by text as a sequence of 
8-bit signed integers and returns the nth integer.

text.GET_

UNSIGNED16(n, 

endianness)

Treats the string of bytes represented by text as a sequence of 
16-bit unsigned integers and returns the nth integer. The 
second argument takes a value of 0 for little endian or 1 for 
big endian.

text.GET_

UNSIGNED8(n)

Treats the string of bytes represented by text as a sequence of 
8-bit unsigned integers and returns the nth integer.
