Hex
-
I think this is something to do with hex but i thought that hex was a 2 character thing not 3 (the h on the end means hex).
I have listed a few of some hex values i think they are some sorta hex
H - 048h
e - 065h
o - 06fh
l - 06ch
- 020h
I am trying to find out what is the equation from ascii code to hex and back or can someone give me a big listing of all the values/characters that could be used.
Thanks -
if u use vb u can use the "hex()" function to hex the values, to go from hex back to ansi then use the same function but prefix the values with "&h" which should give u what u want.

thanks for that there are heaps of them little functions built into vb

hexadecimal is base16, whereas 'decimal' is base10...
so to convert between the two, just switch bases...
i.e., one way (longer way) is to do this:
Hex #'s go from 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F
A-F = 10 - 15
So if you have a number like:
08CA, then it is
016^3+816^2+1216^1+1016^0
To convert a decimal number from decimal to hex,
you divide by the largest power,and then carry over
the remainder with smaller powers.
I.e., so 2250/256= 8 + 202 as a remainder
202/16=12 + 10 as a remainder
10/1 (16^0) = 10 + 0 as a remainder...
so you now have 8,12,10... you now convert to
the hex numbering system, and you have "8CA"...! -
thanks but i think that is what the vb function does, so i will keep with that, but thanks for explaing how it is converted
