convert in hex

[farhan]

hello, i will keep this as simple as possible:

I send a textfile that contains:  "01,\n\r"

How should i convert the following to hexadecimal or compare it with the same string i.e.:

if "01,\n\r" is equal to "01,\n\r" then true otherwise false????

i want to compare the hex values of the above strings??

thankyou

You can use the "String to Byte Array" function (String palette > Conversions) to convert to Hex.
But why do you want to compare the hexadecimal representation?
Does the file contain "\n\r" or newline/carriage return? In either way you can just compare strings, no need for hex conversion.

Hi

Is there any particular reason that you need to convert the string to a hexadecimal?

I can suggest using a 'match pattern' function , then using the 'Equal?' function to compare the matched pattern to the string you are looking for.

You can input a string into the 'Equal?' function and get a true/false value out.

Let me know if this helps.

No need to convert anything. Just use the "equal" from the comparison palette and make sure the string contsant you campare it with is in a suitable display format for clarity.

Remember that the display style of the string (normal, passowrd, \codes, hex) has no influence on the underlying data.

Can you attach you text file so we can see what you actually have?
