Sorry about that.string.sub() to get rid of the leading "0x"?Get what I'm saying? Thanks.I got a question. Given a hexadecimal number (ie. 0x13), how can I convert that to the string "13"? I use print() and it gives me a random ASCII character.
-- Convert a hexadecimal string to a number ("13" -> 19, "FF" -> 255) n = tonumber( "13", 16 ) -- Convert a ASCII code (number) to a char (13 -> "\r", 10 -> "\n") c = string.char( n ) -- Convert a char to it's ASCII code ("\r" -> 13, "\n" -> 10 ) print( string.byte( c ) ) > I use print() and it gives me a random ASCII character Random? --rb
