concatenate hexadecimal string

[techfuturesguy]

I am attempting to communicate via serial to a circulating bath, however it requires all commands as a hexadecimal string.  I generate a portion of the string as a constant however I need to convert a decimal setpoint and append it to the end of the string.  I can convert the decimal into hexadecimal just fine, but when I concatenate the strings the setpoint is in ASCII not hex.  I have tried a number of different avenues but am not having success.  Any help out there?

Nevermind.  Got it.  Just needed to convert to I16 then typecast to hex.

This is something from my reuse library.

While very useful I don't think this addressed the issue the OP had. Rather than saying he needed the data in hexidecimal format I believe the correct term should have been binary. I read the post as stating he needed to send the binary equivilant of the number but need to have it as a string.

I was a unclear on that. I figured it out when I saw the typecast reply but that was posted before I hit submit.

I still don't know what "typecast to hex" means. The computer does not know what hex is and there is no "hex" datatype. It is something that is a human concept. But looking back at the original post again I see I should have read "binary"
