Concatenate Hex Strings

[aaronb]

In the attached example VI is there a way to have the 1B be represented as Hex instead of ASCii after the concatenation in the output string? Why does Concatenate Strings function automatically convert the 1B to ASCII?

Rather than converting the number to a string of ASCII characters, you need to change the representation of the byte to a string. If you will always want only one byte, use the U8 datatype in place of I32. Convert to an array of U8. Convert to String. Concatenate. Lynn

OK I think I understand. Do you mean like the attached version?

[johnsold]

Yes. That should work. 

If you are not clear on the differences, keep at it until you are sure you understand string displays, ASCII characters and bytes.
