WBin

Returns the binary WString (Unicode) representation of a number

Syntax
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UByte ) As WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UShort ) As WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As ULong ) As WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As ULongInt ) As WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As Const Any Ptr ) As WString

   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UByte, ByVal digits As Long ) As 
   WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UShort, ByVal digits As Long ) As
   WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As ULong, ByVal digits As Long ) As 
   WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As ULongInt, ByVal digits As Long ) 
   As WString
   Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As Const Any Ptr, ByVal digits As 
   Long ) As WString

Usage
   result = WBin( number [, digits] )

Parameters
   number
      A whole number or expression evaluating to a whole number.
   digits
      Optional number of digits to return.

Return Value
   Returns a binary WString representation of number, truncated or padded 
   with zeros ("0") to fit the number of digits, if specified.

Description
   Returns a WString (Unicode) representing the binary value of the integer 
   number. Binary digits range from 0 to 1.

   If you specify digits > 0, the result wstring will be exactly that 
   length.  It will be truncated or padded with zeros on the left, if 
   necessary.

   The length of the returned string will not be longer than the maximum 
   number of digits required for the type of expression (32 for a Long, 64 
   for floating point or LongInt)

Example
   Print WBin(54321)
   Print WBin(54321, 5)
   Print WBin(54321, 20)

   will produce the output:

   1101010000110001
   10001
   00001101010000110001
