I have a program that has a byte array that varies in size, but is around 2300 bytes. What I want to do is create a function that will create a new byte array, removing all bytes that I pass to it. For example:
byte[] NewArray = RemoveBytes(OldArray,0xFF);
I need a function that will remove any bytes equal to 0xFF and return me a new byte array.
Any help would be appreciated. I am using C#, by the way.
You could use the Where extension method to filter the array:
byte[] newArray = oldArray.Where(b => b != 0xff).ToArray();
or if you want to remove multiple elements you could use the Except extension method:
byte[] newArray = oldArray.Except(new byte[] { 0xff, 0xaa }).ToArray();
Except is the set difference. So every remaining byte is only returned one time. In my case printData.Except(bytesToRemove).ToArray() doesn't get the expected output, while printData.Where(e => bytesToRemove.All(b => b != e)).ToArray() works fine.Break the problem down:
Can you write code to copy from one array to another?
Can you write a conditional?
Can you allocate a new array?
If you are stuck on one of these then ask specifically about it.
