Symptoms
How do you convert a hexadecimal string to an IP address in Smarts ASL?Trying to use the hexToIP method(operation) to convert a hexadecimal string to an IP address in ASL, but it seems to only work for the Availability Manager product.
Cause
Availability Manager is the only Smarts product that can use the hexToIP method(operation).
Resolution
The following sample code shows how a hexadecimal string can be converted to an IP address in Smarts ASL://Break the hexadecimal string into two character pieces:my_input = "0A011903";START {input = my_input;ip : HEX_IP} do {print(ip);stop();}HEX_IP {o1 : READ_HEX_BYTEo2 : READ_HEX_BYTEo3 : READ_HEX_BYTEo4 : READ_HEX_BYTE} do {return o1 . "." . o2 . "." . o3 . "." . o4;}// To read only 2 hex chars, we need to use 2 '1 character' matchesREAD_HEX_BYTE {c : rep(char, 2)} do {h = MY_HEX(c);return h;}// We then essentially interpret those two characters as a hex string// (the integer equivalent is what gets saved)MY_HEX(x) {input = x;i : hex} do {return i;}OUTPUT:10.1.25.3
