    Hi Komal,
     
    You can convert the string to int using Str2Int function and then pass it it int2hex to get the conversion.
     
    Thanks,
    Girish S.

    I'm assuming that you just want the bytes representing the text and then you want to save hexadecimal representation as text.
     
    But you have to realize that the number of bytes and their values depends on the text encoding you use, which you didn't specify. Here is an example with UTF-8:
    System.Text.Encoding encoding = System.Text.Encoding::get_UTF8();  
System.Byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes(inputString);
str hexString = System.Convert::ToHexString(bytes);
    Note that I wrote the code here, without any validation by compiler. Sorry if there are some mistakes.

    str2Int() would work only if the string consisted only of numeric characters and if we didn't care about encoding.

    Did it answer your question? I see you've created a new thread where you're using Encoding::GetBytes(), but you've never responded to use in this thread.
