Convert Hex to ASCII

Is there an easy way to convert a HEX file format or string to ASCII format? It's easy to convert ASCII to HEX using using "toHexString" but how do you convert HEX back to ASCII?

Integer.parseInt(hexString, 16);

Convert hexa to ascii

Hi,
i converted this trame "444C4D535F436F6D6D616E6420313520C101C10046000060030AFF040016000A" to ASCII but i can't
found the right conversion in which i must found a special caracter like Â,Â,¬,...
What is the best way to convert a hex to ascii?
Thx for your help.

ASCII encodes 128 well-defined characters in 7 bit integers, see here, the Angstrom symbol and many other symbols do not belong to this code...
Also, this is a forum about CVI, not about learning coding in C, so you should add some question specific to CVI
Searching for strtol may be rewarding...

Hex to ascii

Now if i convert hex to ASCII and then back to HEX will the data be same.
youll say yes.I know.this holds good if the data is char or string
my question is what if double,int,float are converted to hex format and then converted to ASCII format and then back to hex format.
will the data be same.HELP
kudos welcome
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Please explain what you mean, because there are many ways to go from numeric to string.
The terms HEX and ASCII have no meaning unless you explain exactly what you are trying to do.
If you take a numeric (DBL, I32, U8, CXT, etc), you can represent it as a string using typecast or flatten to string, and the information will be retained bit by bit. If you later unflatten or typecast it back, nothing is lost.
Here, the resulting string is typically to readable, unless the string is displayed in hex format.
If you talk about formatting, you might lose a lot of information irreversibly. You can only format integers to hex format. If you format a DBL to a decimal string representation, you need to ensure that you show enough decimal digits. Even if you do, there will be small differences due to the inability to fully represent certain fractions in the other numeric system (binary vs. decimal). A formatted string is typically readable directly.

Problem convertting certain extended ascii characters

I'm having problems with the extended ascii characters in the range 128-159. I'm working with SQL server environment using java. I originally had problems with characters in the range 128-159 when I did a 'select char_col from my_table' I always get junk when I try to retreive it from the ResultSet using the code 'String str = rs.getString(1)'. For example char_col would have the ascii character (in hex) '0x83' but when I retrieved it from the database, my str equaled '0x192'. I'm aware there is a gap in the range 128-159 in ISO-8859-1 charset. I've tracked the problem to be a charset issue converting the extended ascii characters in ISO-8859-1 into java's unicode charset.
I looked on the forum and it said to try to specify the charset when I retreived it from the resultset so I did 'String str = new String(rs.getBytes(), "ISO-8859-1")' and it was able to read the characters 128-159 correctly except for five characters (129, 141, 143, 144, 157). These characters always returned the character 63 or 0x3f. Does anyone who what's happening here? How come these characters didn't work? Is there a workaround this? I need to use only use java and its default charsets and I don't want to switch to the windows Cp1252 charset cuz I'm using the java code in a unix environment as well.
thanks.

Normally your JDBC driver should understand the charset used in the database, and it should use that charset to produce a correct value for the result of getString(). However it does sometimes happen that the database is created by programs in some other language that ignore the database's charset and do their own encoding, bypassing the database's facilities. It is often difficult to deal with that problem, because the custodians of those other programs don't have a problem, everything is consistent for them, and they will not allow you to "repair" the database.
I don't mean to say that really is your problem, it is a possibility though. You are using an SQL Server JDBC driver, aren't you? Does its connection URL allow you to specify the charset? If so, try specifying that SQL-Latin1 thing and see if it works.

Help with binary to decimal, binary to hex, and hex to ascii or ascii to hex program

I decided to do a program that will do binary to decimal, binary to hex, and hex to ascii for a project related to a java programming course, which only needs to perform features from chapters 1-6 and 8 of Tony Gaddis's book. The functions work fine as their own main programs out side of this combined effort, so can anyone help me determine why I get the following 41 errrors saying: class, interface, or enum expected as well as any other errors that may show up afterwards because I'm stumped. My flowcharts, which have to be revised after discovering that my previous function were logically incorrect after running them in their own main are attached below as the spec sheet.
My code is as follows and I hope you don't mind the commented lines of unused code because I'm not sure where I want things and what I want at the moment:

so can anyone help me determine why I get the following 41 errrors saying: class, interface, or enum expected as well as any other errors that may show up afterwards because I'm stumped.
Yes - YOU CAN!
My code is as follows and I hope you don't mind the commented lines of unused code because I'm not sure where I want things and what I want at the moment:
Excellent! Commenting out code is EXACTLY how you troubleshoot problems like yours.
Comment out sections of code until the problem goes away. Then start adding back ONE SECTION of code at a time until the problem occurs. When it does you have just FOUND the problem.
If you do that you wind up with code that looks like this:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class BintoDectoHextoAscii {
      public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException      {
         Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
         System.out.println("Enter a binary number: ");
         String binary = input.nextLine(); // store input from user
              public static String BinaryToHexadecimal(String hex)     {     } // end function
Notice ANYTHING UNUSUAL?
You have a complete CLASS definition followed by a method definition.
Methods have to be INSIDE the class - you can NOT define methods on their own.
Write modular code.
Write EMPTY methods - just the method signature and maybe a RETURN NULL if you need to return something.
Then add calls to those empty methods.
When everything compiles and runs find you can start adding code to the methods ONE METHOD AT A TIME.
Test compile and run after you add the code for each method.

Problem converting hex -values changes

Guys,
I have a hex value 0x81(ascii 129). when I convert that to a string by passing this value through byte array it gets converted to " ? "(ascii 63) which is 3f in hex when converted back. I am not sure what is wrong here. Could someone help me.
Thanks in advance.

Convert char to ascii code and vice versa

HI
Is there any function module to convert char to ascii code and vice versa.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
be careful if you have unicode running in your system. URL_ASCII_CODE_GET is platform-dependent so it will return the internal HERX representation of the character in your system - which is hopefully and in most cases ASCII.
Under unicode, we use double-byte characters here. I tried this function and the result CHAR_CODE is '00' regardless what character I specify for TRANS_CHAR. But the coding is so simple I corrected resultig in this sample code:
[P]
convert p_form to ASCII (internal) representation
DATA:
    l_ofs TYPE syfdpos,
    l_len TYPE sy-linsz,
    l_ascii TYPE i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <x> TYPE x.
l_len = STRLEN( p_ascii ).
DO l_len TIMES.
    l_ofs = sy-index - 1.
    ASSIGN p_ascii+l_ofs(1) TO <x> CASTING.
    l_ascii = <x>.
    WRITE: l_ascii.
ENDDO.
[/P]
Here, for each character of string p_ascii, the internal (ASCII) representation is determined and written to the output list.
Regards,
Clemens

Java code to convert - Hex to Dec

I'ld like to convert an Integer or a String from hexadecimal format to a decimal format;
For example: 30 give 0; 50 give P and so on.
Can any one help me sending to me a java code that do it please?
Thanx a lot

This doesn't convert hex to decimal, but it does convert hex to the character representation, which is what it sounds like you want. At any rate, given "30" it will print "0" and given "50" it will print "P". Also, given "P" it will print "is invalid".
        try
            int in = Integer.parseInt(s, 16);
            Character ch = new Character((char)in); // should validate range here
            System.out.println("In: " + s + ", out: " + ch);
        catch (NumberFormatException e)
            System.out.println("In: " + s + " is invalid.");
        }

Instrument I/O Assistant:Convertir les commandes ASCII en numérique?

Bonjour à Tous,
Je suis à la recherche des exemples d'applications et des liens sur les assistants E/S d'instruments dans le but de développer un driver pour power supply Haut Voltage.
En effet ,dans le cadre de mon projet j'ai utilisé ces Assistants E/S directes pour communiquer (Commandes en ASCII ,Reponses en ASCII) avec des alimentations Haut Voltage de type MPS Spellman et le programme fonctionne très bien.
Pour la suite de mon travail je voudrai utilier des commandes Numériques (Décimal) sur la face avant du CODE VI standard obtenu après conversion et avoir des réponses en numérique pour l'exploitation (Ci joint le Code VI Réalisé)
EXP de commandes: stx 12 EN1 Y lf = ON ( Enable )
                                    stx 12 EN0 z lf = oFF (Disable)
                                    stx 12 V1=5 d lf : Pour appliquer 5Volt
,,,                               stx 12 V1=1000 X z lf : pour appliquer 1000 Volt
Je sais pas si des fonctions existent sous Labview ou il faut écrire un autre de programme de calcul? si quelqu'un a des remarques ou des suggestions à faire,,elles seront les bienvenues Merci à bientot.

Two Spaces being converted to from ascii 32,32 to ascii 160,32

Two Spaces being converted to from ascii 32,32 to ascii 160,32 when the page is
loaded by the browser.
This problem is exhibited when viewing an address page in personal data that contains
two spaces in the address field. i.e.. APT102- 102 Elm St.
We put debug traces in to display the ascii character values of the spaces before
and after the record is brought up. This debug showed that the two spaces change

Converting hex to dec

Hi everybody,
I want to join this two numbers and convert them from hex to dec. I have tried using joint and conversion but I still couldn't work it. In the following screen shot I took it suppose to be 3E8 in hex which equals to 1000 in dec. I need suggestion from you how to approach this.
Thanks
Solved!

As I was reading all the answers about converting Hex to Dec,I found out that many of you are making it so complicated.To make it easier for a learner or beginner,this is what it takes:
Open a blank VI
Click on numeric control
Right click on the same numeric control
Scroll down to "Representation"
Click on "U8"
Go to numeric indicator and repeat step 4 and 5
Then right click again on numeric control
Scroll down to "Properties" and click
Click on "Data entry",if necessary,change the minimum and maximum
Pass to "Display format"
Click on "Hexadecimal" then you are done.The rest is to go on the block diagram to wire the numeric control to the numeric indicator and it works.
You can do the same process reverse for dec to hex.But you must know that what we did for "numeric control" on (Hex to Dec) will be done to "numeric indicator" on (Dec to Hex).This same process can apply to octal and binary without the use of complicated array,string while loop and so on...
I'm a beginner in Labview and I understand that you need to explain more to understand better.
If you really read all of the comments, you would see that Altenbach already stated this (saying it is just a cosmetic property for the indicator).

Converting Hex to Integer Value

I'm trying to convert hex code to the corresponding integer, which can then be used to display a character.
For example I have the code.
int i = 0xE7;
System.out.println(i);
System.out.write(i)This produces the output as expected with the first output outputting 231, and the second line outputting the corresponding character.
My problem comes when trying to make it so the hex code is variable.
For example, I receive an output of 7
This output is then the last digit of the hex code (so i check if needs to be converted to a, b etc.) then try and combine it with the prefix 0xE to create the hex code.
I'm not quite sure how to do this bit as I cant carry out
num = 7;
hex = "0xE"+num;
int i = hex;as the last line doesn't calculate due to hex being a string.
Many thanks for your help.

The char array is currently being created using:

Look this is OK, you need to do nothing but just the following:
// I am using the very first example you provided
// i is the index for the char
String hex = "0E" + hexchar;
Integer.parseInt(hex, 16);
System.out.println(i);

Taking care of that, you would already know the response.
Using the really cumbersome keystring "convert AND hex" as described in the forum's help returns two entries.

How to convert tdms to ascii files?

Hello,
I need to convert *.tdms files to an ascii file. I have 16 channels and scalling coefficient information in the tdms file, With the TDMS-Image Viewer i can see the 1-D array waveform perfectly, but I cant write it to an ascii file. When I use a signalexpress.vi or the spreetsheat.vi for writing an LVM/ascii file, information gets lost. (Red symbol at INPUT!!!!)
Please answer me, because I dont have lots of experience with labview and an ascii file is more easier to handle for me! I found only export to matlab and exel, but i just want it in an ascii file. Reading the tdms and opening it is no problem, but connecting the right blocks to the 1D array waveform without dataloss doesnt work.
thank you for reading
danny

Thank you for reply,
i have the new version 8.5. With signalexpress.vis i can do asciis but the red symbol (at input) is there so i dont want to get information lost.
The tdms file has header information for scalling factors and unscalled data for 16 channels.
so because tdms files are faster for writing i want to convert them to ascii with a Convertion Vi, but it seems that with an express vi he stops because it cant handle handle with the headerinformation.
now i use the signalexess vi to write tdms data, before i did it manully by setting channel and group information.
Please tell me if the red symbol AT input of a Signalexpress VI does matter? its a 1D array wavefrom that goes in to the input.
thank you for this discussion, i hope that i dont need to use the matlab import option for tdms!!
greetings danny
