Hia all... I'm stuck trying to convert hex numerals to normal numbers... The hex numbers are strung together in a file like: 1F0AB420FF1C which seems impossible to decode, but it's number every 2 digits, eg: [1F] [0A] [B4] [20] [FF] [1C] is the same sequence broken into number lots. I can do that okay, but i am having trouble converting #FF to 255 etc and 255 to #FF any help greatly appreciated... :) advaTHANKSnce <-(thanks in advance) Mike Fowler - mike.fowler at nelsun.gen.nz o__ --- _,>/'_ --- (_) \(_) --- Tip for the month: Buy a Pentium II - they reboot faster.

Exemple: ? get_hex_value("FF") Will write 255 to the screen... Your welcome... Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen nieuwen at xs4all.nl

Exemple: Zowie. I've been doing it way too complicated. I reversed the hex sequence, calculated each position, yadda yadda yadda. Maybe this listserver IS good for something! hehe > Your welcome... His welcome what? Later! ck
