Dear Peter,

Try assigning your 2 bytes of data to a pair C type "int" buffers, like so:

int buffer1, buffer2;
NSRange range;

range.location = 5;
range.length = 2;

[myData getBytes:&buffer1 range:range];
[myData getBytes:&buffer2 range:range];

Then use C "bitwise" OR operators to manipulate buffer1 and buffer2 to get what you want, perhaps like so (you need check if this exactly correct ):

buffer1 = buffer1 ^ buffer2;

Then, make myData2 with buffer1.

myData2 = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:&buffer1 length:];

Truly yours,

I have a NSData object like this:

// code snippet
NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:thePath];

Now I want to read 2 bytes from this object (from offset 5 and 6). These 2 bytes are in a nybble-ized format like this:

0000llll (offset 5 from start of myData object)
hhhh0000 (offset 6 from start of myData object)
l = low nybble, h = high nybble

So I end up here with 1 byte of data. I want to copy that byte to another NSData object at offset 0, lets call that object myData2.
