character to hex conversion

[S.G1.]

Hi,

How can i convert character into hex string , for example if i have the data as "testing data", how can i get the hex coded output? Ive tried out using first string to number vi and thennumber to hex conversion vi but i get the answer as 0, can u help me in this?

In short my data is " testing1234okokok" , i want a hex coded output which would be something as  "AD87BA......."

Please help

Hi S.G1.,

do you want the ASCII Code as Hex? something like a = 97 = 61Hex?

It should be pointed out that the for-loop in the example is not necessary and superfluous.

To OP: How is one supposed to get "AD" for "t", and "87" for "e"? These are not ASCII values for the characters.

@smercurio_fc

your are right with the for loop, but i hate coercion dots.

What coercion dots? There are no coercion dots even without the loop:

Hi,

thats interesting. What do i have to change in the attached vi, so that there is no coercion dot?

Thanks

That looks like a LabVIEW 8 thing since opening the VI in 8.2 shows no coercion dot. I checked the Upgrade Notes for 8.2 and saw no mention of a change in the polymorphic nature of the Numeric to String functions. I don't have 8.0 to verify, but I would think that regardless of whether it's done in a loop or not, the existence of a coercion dot shouldn't change.

Interesting sidebar, and I would still like a better clarification from the original poster on the relation between the text and the hex values.

Hi,

yes i saved it for 8.0, but in 8.5 is an coercion dot, too. OK, i saw that there are differences. Thanks for the information.
