From Binary

Description

This operation decodes a binary string (in bit format) into plain text. The binary string is split using the selected delimiter, and each group of bits is decoded based on the specified bit length. This is useful for decoding binary data back into human-readable text, which can be applied in scenarios such as data transmission, cryptography, or debugging.

This operation is the inverse of the To Binary operation.

Data types

These are the input/output expected data types for this operation:

Input data

- Binary strings to be decoded.

Output data

- Resulting plain text.

Parameters

These are the parameters you need to configure to use this operation (mandatory parameters are marked with a *):

Delimiter*

Specify the delimiter used to separate binary segments in the input string. Choose between:

• Space

• Comma

• Semi-colon

• Colon

• None

Byte Length*

Enter the number of bits per binary segment in the input values.

Example

Suppose you want to decode a series of binary strings into plain text:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required Action configuration and select the input Field.
2. In the Operation field, choose From Binary.

3. Set Delimiter to Space.

4. Set Byte Length to 8.

5. Give your Output field a name and click Save. The values in your input field will be transformed. For example:

01001000 01101001 -> Hi

You can try out operations with specific values using the Input field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the Output field.
