    Thanks guys, for helping me... however... when I tried JawiB's code, it runs each one 7 times... which I don't want. it should run it once, checking through each one 7 times. here's the updated code...

    PHP Code:
            unsigned char mask[] = {0x800x400x200x100x080x040x020x01};

            
    int binValue 0;
            
    int j 0;
            
    int stride = (imageWidth 7) / 8;
            
    unsigned charrowBuff, *pixByte;

            for(
    int k=0imageLengthk++)
            {
                
    rowBuff buf stride k;
                for(
    int i=0imageWidthi++)
                {
                    
    pixByte rowBuff + (8);
                    
                    
    cout << " -" << (int)*pixByte << "-" << endl;

                    if(
    70;                            
                    
    binValue = ((*pixByte mask[j]) ? );
                    
    cout << binValue;
                    
    j++;
                }
                
    cout << endl;
            } 
    Is my mask wrong? Or is something else wrong?

    By the way... I am getting strange results for (int)*pixByte ... sometimes I will get something like one of these: 31, 13, 30, or 63. The rest are 0s and 255s (which they should be). Anyone have an explaination?

    Without the double not statement, you are not actually returning a boolean value. The only way you would, would be if bitIndex was zero. Anything else does not return 1. It returns a power of two.

    While it is true that it would work for an equality test, where anything non-zero is considered true, in your case, it is incorrect, because bool should only ever be one or zero.

    This would fail:

    if( testBit( 2, 1 ) == 1 )

    Because "number & 2" would return two, not one.

    Wait a moment, I think that would be buggy compiler behavior. bool is a built-in type in C++ that can only have the states true (1) and false (0).
    That means if I do:
    Code:
    bool retBool()
    {
      return 3;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
      cout << (int)retBool() << endl;
      return 0;
    }
    VC++ will issue a warning (truncation cast, possible data loss) but will compile and output "1". That's because the 3 gets converted to boolean true and then to integer again, resulting in 1.
    That's VC++7.1, about the most standards compliant compiler out there.
    All the buzzt!
