Convert FF Ascii To FF Hex

I have a serial device that returns a hex number but in ascii format(!).
For example:
Instead of returning  FF0A (viewed in a string indicator set to Hex display), it returns ff0a (as viewed in a string indicator set to normal display). But the data actually represents FF 0A.
My question is how can I convert ff0a (ascii) to FF 0A (hex)?
Thanks in advance!

    You can use String to Byte Array for this.

  • How to convert signed ascii hex to float value

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to convert IEEE ascii hex to float value.
    Following code is working for +ve float value but it didn't work for -ve.
    public static float hexToFloat(String str){
              float floatVal= 0.0f;
              int decimalValue =Integer.parseInt(str,16);
              floatVal=Float.intBitsToFloat(decimalValue );
              return floatVal;
    for example "BE4CE1E6" should return -0.20 . (i verified in http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/IEEE-754/32bit.html )
    For the above string I am getting number format exception.
    pls help me.

    The problem is the parseInt method. It can only process numbers up to 2147483647 or 7FFFFFFF. Because that method expects a signed number.
    The solution is to use Long.parseLong() instead.
    public static float hexToFloat(String str){
    float floatVal= 0.0f;
    int decimalValue =(int)Long.parseLong(str,16);
    floatVal=Float.intBitsToFloat(decimalValue );
    return floatVal;
    }

  • Converting byte from dec to hex

    Hi All,
    I'm having a problem converting byte from decimal to hex - i need the following result:
    if entered 127 (dec), the output should be 7f (hex).
    The following method fails, of course because of NumberFormatException.
        private byte toHexByte(byte signedByte)
            int unsignedByte = signedByte;
            unsignedByte &= 0xff;
            String hexString = Integer.toHexString(unsignedByte);
            BigInteger bigInteger = new BigInteger(hexString);
            //byte hexByte = Byte.parseByte(hexString);
            return bigInteger.byteValue();
        }

    get numberformatexception because a lot of hex digits cannot be transformed into int just like that (ie f is not a digit in decimal) heres some code that i used for a pdp11 assembler IDE... but this is for 16-bit 2s complement in binary/octal/decimal/hex , might be useful for reference as example though
        public static String getBase(short i, int base){
            String res = (i>=0)? Integer.toString((int)i,base)
                    : Integer.toString((int)65536+i,base) + " ("+Integer.toString((int)i,base)+")";
           StringBuffer pad= new StringBuffer();
            for(int x = 0; x < 16 - res.length() ; x++){
                pad.append("0");
            res = pad.toString() + res;
            return res;

  • Batch convert to ascii using text wrangler

    I am trying to create an Apple script using Text Wrangler to do batch conversions of 8 bit to 7 bit plain text files. My current approach using Automator is:
    1. Get specified Finder items
    2. Get Folder contents
    3. then run the Apple script to convert.
    I recorded the actions and tried to modifiy the script but don't really know what I am doing. Here is what I have.
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "TextWrangler"
    activate
    repeat
    convert to ASCII text of text document with replacing target
    close {text document} saving yes
    end repeat
    end tell
    return input
    end run
    I am not sure how to represent the name for the "generic" file in batch mode and also how to make sure it repeats through the entire folder. I know this is basic stuff, hope someone can help.
    It is fine to convert, save, then close. Not worried about preserving the original.
    Thanks ahead of time

    Well, I downloaded TextWrangler 2.2.1 and tried to test this out. From what I can tell from Bare Bones's website, BBEdit would have Automator actions for this and the files wouldn't need to be opened individually. Though, that would cost a bit more than TextWrangler.
    Anyways, since you're using Automator, getting the files has been simplified and so all you need to do is repeat it for each file. Here's the slight modification:
    <pre>on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "TextWrangler"
    activate
    repeat with this_file in input
    open this_file
    convert to ASCII text of text document 1 with replacing target
    close {text document 1} saving yes
    end repeat
    end tell
    return input
    end run</pre>
    I named the variable "this_file" to represent each of the files in the list it receives, but you can name it anything. If you use Automator's "View Results" before the "Run AppleScript" action, then you can see what is being passed into it. It seems like you need the "1" after "text document" because the windows in TextWrangler can have more than one document, even if you only have one document open at a time.
    Since you have to have TextWrangler open, you could probably adjust the script to open all the files at once and then iterate through the contents of each. But it pretty much would do the same thing.
    I couldn't figure out if anything was actually changing in the documents (i.e. does it look like 7-bit or 8-bit? don't know), but I did confirm the text of each document was being passed to the "convert to ASCII". So, it must be doing whatever it's doing.
    (Oh, just for reference, the "return input" part of the script at the end sends the stuff in "input" to the next action. In this case, the "input" contains a list of files from the previous action, so returning that passes that list to the next action. This means you can do more to the files. Keep this in mind if you replace whatever is in "input" directly, for example setting "input" to the number 7 or something like that. You can also create some other variable and return that instead.)

  • How do I convert an ASCII character to an array of co-ordinates.

    I need to convert and ASCII character to an array of X, Y co-ordinates. I also need to be-able to vary the size of the text (scale of graph i suppose) and position on the graph So i can desplay multiple characters on a graph. However it needs to be stored in an array (or set of arrays) so i can isue these co-ordinates to an instrument.

    Maybe the attached VI can help. Using picture control functions, it get the
    1bit bitmap of the character/text
    on input in a 2D array of booleans.

  • Checking and Converting binary, octal, decimal, and hex

    Hi,
    I have a classroom project which will need to validate that data entered in a text is of a certain type with a keyListener, and then convert that value to the other 3 types.
    I know character.isDigit will handle the decimal case, and that I can then use Integer.otString methods to convert to binary, octal, and hex, but what about the other cases?
    Thanks

    OK, this isn't working. If I've already established
    that the string entered into, for example, the
    integer-only textfield is a valid integer, I should be
    able to simply use integer.parseint(s, 2) to convert
    it into binary, right?Not exactly. You should be able to use Integer.parseInt(s, 2) to return the result of converting it from binary representation. You appear to think that this affects whatever "s" refers to, which is not the case. Note also, that method returns an int which is the decimal value in question.
    When you are thinking of int variables, be careful not to think of them as "decimal" or "binary". They are neither. They are just numbers. "Decimal" and "binary" are text representations of numbers, so those concepts can only be applied to strings.
    Integer.parseInt(s, 2);
    txtBin.setText(s);So here you want to assume that the input is a string that represents a number in decimal, and you want to find the string that represents the number in binary. Like this:// convert string in decimal representation to number
    int dec = Integer.parseInt(s);
    // convert int to binary representation as string:
    String binary = Integer.toBinaryString(dec);
    // write that to the text field
    txtBin.setText(binary);You could use a one-liner to do that, but you'll need the "dec" variable to set the other text boxes.

  • How can I convert an ASCII string of variable length to a HEX number?

    Hello,
    I read data from the serial port 5 times in a second (while loop) and the number of bytes read varies every time.
    The data comes in as ASCII string, and I can see the HEX representation if I connect a HEX string indicator, but I need to permanently convert data to a HEX number. 
    How can that be done?

  • Non ASCII String to Hex

    Hi,
    I am writing an algorithm that first encrypts a String, and then converts that String to Hex String. I can successfully parse Hex Strings into Ascii Strings and vice versa, but when I encrypt I cannot do this anymore. Is there a way to convert a non-ascii character to Hexadecimal and vice versa?
    Thanks in advance

    Maybe so....
    The encrypted value when printed does not format on my screen, and appears as boxes and such.
    The values that I am passing in are a very simple encryption....XOR against a key. Here is that algorithm.
    public byte[] encrypt(byte[] value) {
              byte[] encrypted = new byte[value.length];
              byte[] adjustedKey = getKey();
              while (adjustedKey.length < encrypted.length) {
                   String temp = new String(adjustedKey) + new String(key);
                   adjustedKey = temp.getBytes();
              for (int i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
                   encrypted[i] = (byte)(adjustedKey[i] ^ value);
              return encrypted;          
    Since this is an XOR, I can use the same method to decrypt as well. This is what produces my non-Ascii characters.
    Is there a way for me to get the byte value of a 1 digit hex value then? this may help some.

  • Convert to ASCII characters

    We are extracting information, such as article descriptions to send to some legacy systems.  These systems can only accept ASCII characters (space, A-Z, 0-9, a-z, and the standard characters on the US keyboard).  These are decimal values 32 through 126 or hex values 20 through 7E. 
    SAP apparently allows entries of decimal values 127 and greater (such as ½).
    We need to either remove or convert such characters to spaces.
    Is there a function to do this?  Or some simple command?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thank you both for your suggestions but I couldn't get any of these functions to do what I want.
    We have a description for an article that includes "Size 7 ½".  The ½ symbol causes a problem with interfaces to some of our legacy systems.
    I know I can replace the ½ symbol with a space, but eventually some user will use yet another symbol (such as ¼) and I don't want to try to create a replace for each of these symbols.
    I would like to investigate the decimal or hex equivilent of each character and replace those out of range.
    Is there any function that would allow this?
    Thanks,

  • BIG ASCII string to HEX string

    Hello guys,
    I know that is already a lot of posts regarding this issue, but I couldn't find exactly what I need and also couldn't manage to solve it myself...
    I need to convert a string with ASCII characters to a string containing HEX representation of these characters.
    What I did was: 
    Apparently it works very well, but only for a limited numbers of characters, defined by data representation of the 0 constant (U64). It allows me to convert only 8 ASCII characters, as you can see on the image below:
    So, it converted from 0 to 7, but not the remaining characters (8 and 9).
    Any ideas??
    Thanks in advance!
     

    What is the data type of the constant wired into the typecast.  My guess is it is a U64.  So it will only typecast the first 8 bytes of your string to a number, then you are doing hex on those 8 numbers.
    Use the function String to Byte Array.  Or you could also typecast where an array of U8 integers is wired into the typecast function.
