Convert number into a 4 digit HEX string

[Stef_vl]

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to convert a number into a 4 digit HEX string.

Now I convert the number into an array with "build array", and that array I convert with a "byte array to string"

So that when I type in number 30, the string will show 1E (HEX, 2 digits).

But when I type in a number bigger than 255, it keeps showing FF (255)

If I make the "build array" bigger, and add an element, the string shows a 4 digit Hex number.

Now I would like to know how I can show that one number, bigger than 255 in the string with 4 digits.

So I actually need to split the number into 2 arrays before building the array, isn't it?

I hope you understand my purpose?

So when I type in "1235", I want a String that indicates "04E5" and not "FF" 🙂

The function you want to use is Number to Hexidecimal String. Set the width to 4

By the way, 0x04E5 is decimal 1,253
