Convert Hexadecimal String to Byte Array

[GerdW · Accepted solution]

Hi Neival,

something like this may work for you:

(String in normal display mode…)

[Nelval]

I already came up with a solution pretty similar, I was expecting something a bit more builtin from LabVIEW, anyway, thanks.

Sorry for the misunderstanding... another way of doing the conversion

And where do these "solutions" do a left padding of the last "4" in the original example string?

[GerdW]

Hi Christian,

why insist on left padding? Conversion of trailing "4" will give the expected result 4…

The question should rather be: Why does the data source omit the zero padding leaving us with an odd number of chars?

Yes, yours does, but the other two don't.

Here's what should cover all scenarios (odd or even lenght)

Thanks for completing that part of the solution.

I know this post has been marked answered, but I just can't help myself.  And I do have the greatest respect for Chris' experience.

Mostly in answer to Vijay's several attempts (some flat-out wrong, and the final one close but improvable), I'll attach the following two images (note, only one is a snippet):

Apologies to all and best regards,
