This is useful, thanks

In your example code you stated there is no automatic way to convert
strings to hex. It is possible to do using a loop and the Hex$
function, like so:

Public Function String2Hex(s As String) As String

  Dim ret As String = ""
  Dim i As Integer

  For i = 1 To Len(s)
    ret &= Hex$(Asc(s, i), 2)
  Next
  Return ret

End


Cheers,


Ian
