xml.lua - Added mod to parse hex strings as a number

[zer0]

I added a mod to change parsed hex strings to a number. Handy if you want to put hexadecimal as a value.

For example:

Code: Select all

<config name="mem_offset">0x0f00</config>

Becomes 1024.

In XML.lua:

Here was the mod.

Code: Select all

  -- convert hex string to number.  
  if( string.find(data, "^(0x%x+)$") ~= nil) then
    --print ("data: ", data)
    return tonumber(data:sub(3), 16);
  end

Added to the implicitCast function like so:

Code: Select all

function implicitCast(data)
  if( data == "true" ) then
    return true; end;

  if( data == "false" ) then
    return false; end;
  if( string.find(data, "[^%.?0-9+]") == nil ) then
    return tonumber(data);
  end
  -- convert hex string to number.  
  if( string.find(data, "^(0x%x+)$") ~= nil) then
    --print ("data: ", data)
    return tonumber(data:sub(3), 16);
  end
  return data;
end

I have several uses for it so I think it's pretty useful to include it in the XML lua parser.

Good idea, I've just added this to MicroMacro 1.0, and it will appear in the next beta or full release. Thanks.
