Extracts a contiguous group of bits (a bit field) from the input value. Starting at bit offset, it takes width bits, shifts them down to position 0 and outputs them as a right-aligned value. For example, extracting offset 8, width 8 from $AABBCCDD returns $000000CC. Perfect for decoding packed data such as protocol headers, colour channels or flag groups.
Bitwise flows are not directly compatible with data flows. You must use integer-to-bitwise to set bitwise inlets and bitwise-to-integer to retrieve outlet values. Bitwise inputs are in hexadecimal format (0123456789ABCDEF). ie. $FA234B, $FFFF, etc. Bitwise flows are compatible with Color flows.
Value to extract from (bitwise / hexadecimal).
Position of the lowest bit of the field (integer, 0–31).
Number of bits to extract (integer, 1–32). Defaults to 8.
The extracted field, right-aligned (shifted down to bit 0).
Decoding bytes packed into $AABBCCDD (each byte is 8 bits wide):
| in | offset | width | out |
|---|---|---|---|
| $AABBCCDD | 0 | 8 | $000000DD (byte 0) |
| $AABBCCDD | 8 | 8 | $000000CC (byte 1) |
| $AABBCCDD | 24 | 8 | $000000AA (byte 3) |
| $AABBCCDD | 0 | 4 | $0000000D (low nibble) |
