To Binary

Description

This operation converts a text string into its binary representation. Each character in the input string is converted to its binary equivalent based on the specified bit length (typically 8 bits per character). The resulting binary segments are joined using a configurable delimiter.

This operation is the inverse of the From Binary operation.

Data types

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

Input data

- Plain text to be converted.

Output data

- Resulting binary strings.

Parameters

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

Delimiter*

Specify the delimiter you want to use to separate the binary segments in the output strings. Choose between:

• Space

• Comma

• Semi-colon

• Colon

• None

Byte Length*

Enter the number of bits per binary segment in the input values. Typically, this value is set to 8 (standard ASCII encoding).

Example

Suppose you want to transform a series of plain texts into their corresponding binary strings:

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

3. Set Delimiter to Comma.

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:

Hello -> 01001000,01100101,01101100,01101100,01101111

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.
