1.) would be correct for characters (or hex digits), but OP wants bits, so you would have to do `split(//, sprintf("%b", $address))` 2.) additionally, for substr to count its offset from right, you have to use negative, so `substr((sprintf "%b", $address), -6, 1)`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks rizzo & soonix. Actually substr((sprintf "%b", $address), -7, 1) is serving my need as we are starting from right side of the bit stream (LSB) and starting to count from bit 0 to bit 5, so total of six bits and keeping -7 in the substr func as index makes us catch the 6th bit from the bit stream. Thanks again for the help guys	[reply]

I don't understand why GrandFather's solution (bitwise-anding) would not give you the same result with a lot less wasted motion. Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l]

No such thing as a small change
