Although I didn't read that, don't forget that Java doesn't do unsigned, so make sure that's not a factor.

ooh ooh I THINK I know....

Java's characters are all WIDE (that is, 16-bit Unicode), whereas ANSI C uses narrow (8-bit) characters. That COULD be an issue. This is interesting me, if you want to tell me WHERE you got this, I might be willing to help you further. =)

btw, this is a very handy String constructor:
String(byte[] bytes, String charsetName)
Constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the specified charset.

where charsetName = "US-Ascii".

Ahh.. Thank you all for your help. I finally got it to work. I found out the hard way that java has an obscure operator '>>>' that shifts right and inserts a 0. The rest of the method was quite easy.

Let me know if you would be interested in the ~20 line and 1 parameter method source ;) I'd post it now.. but my wife is giving me 'that look'...

Sure, might as well post it .. why not? :)

I don't see what you mean.

I understand the implication of what semephore was going to do, and I hope he enjoys it, but what's that have to do with him posting the source later?

[edit] Wait, are you coming onto me? eww!

You mean you haven't picked up on the signs :'(
hehe anyways sorry I thought you totally missed what he was implying there

No, of course I realized, but I just didn't care :P


So yeah, I care more about the code. So?

"that look" might be the one that women give when they feel that you have been spending waaaay too much time doing whatever it is that you are doing and feel that it is in your best interest to pay attention to them for a while and knock off whatever it is that you are doing that is making them give you "that look" in the first place because it is obviously more important to keep them from having to give you "that look" and I'm surprised that you have the nerve to force me into giving you "that look"!

DAMN!

What's wrong with you?

The best way to combat "that look" is to reply with. "No problem, I was on my way out to get some hookers and beer anyway." They will never give you "that look" again. >:D

the only "look" you'd be seeing is the back of their head as they walk out the door :P

Thing you almost made a point there until you showed us proof that you don't have a women (or were joking so shouldn't bothered to be taken seriously) :P

I have a woman and make comments like Thing suggested on a regular basis. Although those comments only result in more looks, but better that than some of the unneeded actions.;D
