BIG ASCII string to HEX string

[henriquegpo]

Hello guys,

I know that is already a lot of posts regarding this issue, but I couldn't find exactly what I need and also couldn't manage to solve it myself...

I need to convert a string with ASCII characters to a string containing HEX representation of these characters.

What I did was: 

Apparently it works very well, but only for a limited numbers of characters, defined by data representation of the 0 constant (U64). It allows me to convert only 8 ASCII characters, as you can see on the image below:

So, it converted from 0 to 7, but not the remaining characters (8 and 9).

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance!

What is the data type of the constant wired into the typecast.  My guess is it is a U64.  So it will only typecast the first 8 bytes of your string to a number, then you are doing hex on those 8 numbers.

Use the function String to Byte Array.  Or you could also typecast where an array of U8 integers is wired into the typecast function.
