to_strings#

hexrec.formats.sqtp.to_strings(file, retlw=False)[source]#

Extracts byte strings from a file.

Given a Microchip SQTP file (as special Intel HEX format), it extracts byte strings from data records.

Warning

This algorithm ignores addressing. It just takes data records. Please provide valid Microchip SQTP files only.

Parameters:

file (IhexFile) – Microchip SQTP file as special Intel HEX format.
retlw (bool) – The RETLW byte is put after each byte of the byte string. If true, it ignores the RETLW bytes.

Returns:

list of int – Sequence of byte strings.
