Hexadecimal to character Conversion
PostPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 3:18 am     Reply with quote
Hello,

is there any function to convert a hexadecimal number to a character ?
Or to convert an ASCII number to a character ?

Many Thanks.

What do you mean by character?
What are you trying to do. Be specific.

Hi there,

If you mean that you have a value of lets say "0xFF" and you want to print it in hex and not decimal, you do have some options...

use the "%x|X" in printf (can apply to sprintf) etc.

~or~

create an array with the 16 values 0,1,2,3,4...f
then use the high and low nibbles to obtain that value in ascii

char_array[(value&0xf0)>>4] // high character
char_array[(value%0x0f)] // low character

make sense?
