Hi

I have a string of octets (hexadecimal) eg. "CE370BA4" which is a string of
UCS2 encoded characters.
I'd like to convert this string to a clarion string.

I have looked at the string class from Jim Kane but I cannot see how I can
use it to convert my string of octets to a CW "string".

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Cheers
Ivan

Use EVALUATE() - see the docs...

Hi Randy

Thanks for the reply, Evaluate performs expression evaluation - I'm not sure
how you are suggesting I use this to convert a 2 byte Unicode hexadecimal
string into a Clarion string?

Cheers

Hi Ivan
Using Evaluate as Randy says is the right way:

loop i# = 1 to len(HexString) by 2
MyString = clip(MyString) & chr(evaluate('0' & HexString[i#,i#+1] &
'h'))
End!Loop

If the Evaluate cant handle the string manipulating, the evaluate on an
implicit:

CheckStr" = '0' & HexString[i#,i#+1] & 'h'
Evaluate(CheckStr") Will give you the converted Decimal
