BitDtoX

The BitDtoX function converts a decimal number to a hexadecimal string representation.

Syntax

sHex = BitDtoX( nNumber )

where

sHex is the hexadecimal form

nNumber is the decimal integer number to convert.

The conversion is returned with all characters present, including leading 0's. For example, the hexadecimal representation of a 32-bit integer will always be returned using 8 characters even if most of the high-order bits are 0. To reduce the string length, you can use the BitTrim function to strip all leading 0's from the hexadecimal string.

Example

The following script converts a decimal number to a hexadecimal string representation. Note that the decimal number is printed using %u because it is considered an unsigned (i.e., 0 or positive) integer.

n = 15	-- pick a number
Printf( "'%u --> %s'", BitDtoX( n ) )	-- prints 15 --> 0000000F
Printf( "'%u --> %s'", BitTrim( BitDtoX( n ) ) )	-- prints 15 --> F
