hex string to hex array

[hiNI]

Hello,

I have a hex string that contains the address then word:

0 8E39

1 60E3

2  1B

3  42

4  100

5  0

I am trying to generate two arrays, one with the address in two bytes and the other with the word in four bytes so that I will end up:

00 8E39

01 60E3

02 001B

03 0042

04 0100

05 0000

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

hiNi.

Change your U16 Array constant into a 2D array and get rid of the FOR loop.

You can also directly use "read from spreadsheet file" (but you need to convert to U16 later).

You said you wanted two arrays, so you still need to slice out the two columns.

THANK YOU!

Well, both the address and the word are currently in two bytes each (U16). "four bytes" would only make sense if you format the number into a hexadecimally formatted string (the display format of numerics has nothing to do with the underlying number of bytes).

Can you explain what you really want?

Hello,

I was able to get the desired output after implementing your code and using the code added below:

Why keep them in separate arrays? Why not use a 2D array to contain them? It seems the data is related and when kept separate there is a better chance for things to get misaligned.
