Convert Text to Hex

Posted on by howeidat 35

Hello

I want to convert text to hex using AL code. Is there any function that can do so?

I am working on cloud Business Central so I can't use any Dot Net library.

example:

Text Input = Bobs Records

Hex Result = 426F6273205265636F726473

Thanks

    Hi

    See this post  forum.mibuso.com/.../how-to-convert-text-to-hexadecimal-in-nav-2005

    specially the following by Duikmeester

    OnRun()
MESSAGE('0x%1',ConvertBase16('Hogan'));

LOCAL ConvertBase16(theInput : Text[512]) theOutput : Text[1024]
FOR aIndex := 1 TO STRLEN(theInput) DO BEGIN
  aInt := theInput[aIndex];
  aLeft := ROUND(aInt / 16,1,'<');
  aRight := aInt MOD 16;
  theOutput += HexValue(aLeft) + HexValue(aRight);
END;

LOCAL HexValue(theValue : Integer) : Text[1]
CASE theValue OF
  0..9: EXIT(FORMAT(theValue));
  10:   EXIT('A');
  11:   EXIT('B');
  12:   EXIT('C');
  13:   EXIT('D');
  14:   EXIT('E');
  15:   EXIT('F');
END;
