[Gambas-user] Reading hex from a string socket read

[adam krell]

Well, that would solve some of my problem, but I'm not
sure if it is the best way in the long run.  A
pack/unpack or sprintf() function would do the trick
in the language itself, rather than having to modify
the component.  But I'm not really an expert in these
things.
