MemoryBlock.CompareBits Method

Use this method to compare a block of bits from one MemoryBlock to another.

Parameters

byteOffsetA

This parameter can be used to specify byte offset the first MemoryBlock.

bitOffsetA

This parameter can be used to specify bit offset the first MemoryBlock.

blockB

The MemoryBlock to compare to.

byteOffsetB

This parameter can be used to specify byte offset the second MemoryBlock.

bitOffsetB

This parameter can be used to specify bit offset the second MemoryBlock.

bitCount

The count of bits to compare.

Returns

Boolean

Remarks

Returns: True if the bits were equal.

This method is not bounds checked in any way. You are responsible for making sure you don't go out of bounds.

Note that this is bitwise compare, not byte wise and is because of that not very efficient. You can for example compare 5 bits.

This method is available on REALbasic 5.0 systems by adding a MemoryBlock parameter in front of other parameters.
