Harsh lessons in binaryDecode

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Alex,

You are right about the crash, but you don't need additional  
variables to avoid it.

on mouseUp
   local lVal1, lVal2, lVal3
   put "1234 5678 123456789012 and some more" into myBin
   get binaryDecode("a4xa4xa12",myBin, lVal1,,lVal2,,lVal3)
   put it && lVal1, lVal2, lVal3
end mouseUp

This is good to know, if you are decoding large amounts of data.

Best,

Mark
