How does it work in the search window?

Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the Make byte array operation. You need to specify at least one argument, and you can add as many value arguments as needed:

Argument

Data type

value mandatory

integer

The data type of the values in the new column is boxar(int1).

...

Example

(warning) The examples in this article use values in a data table generated from the following CSV file.

...

from my.upload.sample.data
select split(message, ";", 16) as posNumbers1
select split(message, ";", 17) as posNumbers2
select int(posNumbers1) as integerValues1
select int(posNumbers2) as integerValues2

...

In the my.upload.cample.data table, we want to transform the base64 strings in the integerValues1 and integerValues2 columns into byte arrays. To do it, we will create a new column using the Make byte array operation. Let's call the new column byteArray.

The arguments needed to create the new column are:

  • value - integerValues1 column

  • value - integerValues2 column

...

Click Create column and you will see the following result:

...

  • mkboxar(integer1, integer2, integer3...)

Example

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table. Keep in mind that you must download and upload the file provided before to your Devo domain.

Code Block
from my.upload.sample.data
select split(message, ";", 16) as posNumbers1
select split(message, ";", 17) as posNumbers2
  select int(posNumbers1) as integerValues1
  select int(posNumbers2) as integerValues2,
    mkboxar(integerValues1, integerValues2) as byteArray
