QUESTION:
I need to convert a string to a hexadecimal value. How do I do that?
ANSWER:
It is quite easy to write such a function in DataFlex, but it is easier to use the function StrToHex from the enclosed cHexLib class. You can use it as follow:
Use Windows.Pkg
Use cHexLib.Pkg
Procedure DoTest Desktop
Handle hoHexLib
Boolean bIsHex
String sValue
Integer iValue
Get Create U_cHexLib To hoHexLib
If (hoHexLib) Begin
Get IsHex Of hoHexLib "FFFFFA" To bIsHex
Showln "bIsHex: " bIsHex
Get IsHex Of hoHexLib "FGFFFA" To bIsHex // This is not correct HEX
Showln "bIsHex: " bIsHex
Get StrToHex Of hoHexLib "DataFlex is a GREAT product!" To sValue
Showln "sValue: " sValue
Get HexToStr Of hoHexLib sValue To sValue
Showln "sValue: " sValue
Get DecToHex Of hoHexLib 129 To sValue
Showln "sValue: " sValue
Get HexToDec Of hoHexLib "A0" To iValue
Showln "iValue: " iValue
Send Destroy Of hoHexLib
End
End_Procedure
Send DoTest
Send Info_Box "Ready"
