hex to string losing values typecast

[Fibo]

Hello, I couldn't think of a good subject title for my problem but basically I need a hex string of 64 bits of data, but after making this code I'm losing my last 16 bits.... can anyone tell whyt his is happening? 

Much Thanks!

Make your string indicator wider.

I've caught myself on this one before, especially in hex display.  There is no indication that other characters may be present to the right of the indicator.  In hex display, you can have a lot of white space on the right because it is just not quite enough space to display the grouping of the next 4 hex digits (2 characters).

Dear Ravens,

Thanks for explaining this clearly with a picture. Good teaching.

Yup, like Ravens showed with that picture the first thing I did was stretch out my indicator... but I didn't know I had to stretch it out so much to catch another character.  Good to know!
